June's Book Suggestions

[dwndrgn]

Feel free to post any suggestions, including books that have been suggested before but not chosen. Any book, sci fi, fantasy, alternative history...basically anything that can remotely be placed in these genres are fair game. Give us some good ones to chew over...

[Sage Orion]

Here's my suggestions......

well any books under Fantasy (Forgotten Realms)!

Any of the Forgotten Realms Series!!

[Dead Riverdragon]

I've a couple so far:

Richard Matheson-I Am Legend (manageable length, too)
Valerio Massimo Manfredi-Spartan
John Courtney Grimwood-RedRobe

(Does anyone know if there's an English edition of Greg Keyes' 'The Briar King' yet? If so-I nominate that too)

[polymorphikos]

Tarzan of the Apes. Please.

[I, Brian]

Argh! I still keep forgetting to buy American Gods!!

[knivesout]

I second the Matheson book - not least because it has elements of horror, something we haven't discussed yet. Tarzan of the Apes would be cool too, or how about A Princess of Mars? I'd be interested to see how people take to Burroughs.

[Hypes]

Master & Commander: Far Side of the World, by Patrick O'Brien.

[erickad71]

I suggest The Woodwife again!

[polymorphikos]

I will give five Australian pounds to every person who votes for Tarzan.

[Stormydreamer]

Hello... I'm new here, but if my opinion counts, Tarzan of the Apes sounds very good! I read those a long time ago, it would be fun to see them again... but the Princess of Mars was also rather interesting.

[dwndrgn]

Welcome, Stormydreamer! Yes your opinion counts even if you are new but we are still in the suggestion stage, come back when we put these suggestions to the vote, probably later today.

Sage Orion - in order for me to include this in the vote, I need a title and author so please pick a specific one to add to the vote. I'll hold off posting the vote until later today or tomorrow morning to give you time to get me a specific title.

My suggestion is Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard just because it is a fun space opera - very different from last month's book and most of the suggestions for this month are fantasyesque

The suggestions so far are:
I Am Legend, Richard Matheson (Dead Riverdragon, I chose the first of your suggestions to keep the number of titles down for the vote, please keep your other suggestions handy for next month)
Tarzan of The Apes, Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Woodwife, Teri Windling
Battlefield Earth, L. Ron Hubbard

once Sage Orion specifies which Forgotten Realms title, we will then have five titles to vote from, and I'll post the poll.

[tonic]

Yes there is an English version of The Briar King and I would second that one though i hope it could be found in ever library. It is a great book by Gregory Keyes.

[Stormydreamer]

Thanks for explaining... I'm very new to all this!
