NERD FIGHT!

Wheel of Time is to Star Trek as Lord of the Rings is to Star Wars. wut.

Malazan looks pretty awesome. I'll be getting that to try first or Earthsea. Earthsea is great and I never finished it when I read it ages ago, so that is a winner too. Stephen King though, he can go suck a Matrik. I might still try it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

PS: The Hobbit also wrecks Lord of the Rings. Bilbo Baggins is OP compared to Frodo Faggins.

A list I recently sent to a friend who asked a similar question.	alansmithee	August 10, 2014 01:23PM
Aha. Shannara. Thanks for that. Read some in middle school and always wanted to reread, but couldn't remember the name! (n/t)	Matrik	August 10, 2014 02:43PM
Perdido Street Station is outstanding.	wrathpuppet	August 10, 2014 01:55PM

That's a good one. I like to write sci-fi too.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 08:39PM
Not sure why I didn't just make one post - Since you finish WOT - Check out Brandon Sanderson's "The Stormlight Archive" it's his WOT style EPIC only at book 2 now but planned 6 or 7 i think. (n/t)	kanye	August 06, 2014 05:34PM
Warbreaker and Steelheart were pretty good too (n/t)	abernyte	August 07, 2014 04:00AM
Yeah, not a chance.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 05:41PM
Its worth reading.	Cerunnir	August 07, 2014 01:42AM
Yes he is, and his style ain't half bad. (n/t)	Matrik	August 07, 2014 06:13AM
I'm listening to Joe Abercrombie's "The First Law" trilogy on Audible right now. All three are between 20-27 hours. (n/t)	kanye	August 06, 2014 05:31PM
Ah, fellow audible customer.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 05:40PM
Re: Ah, fellow audible customer.	kanye	August 08, 2014 05:43AM
Check out Glenn Cook's "The Black Company" series there 12 or so in the series but they run about 300-400 pages each so make for easy reads/listen. (n/t)	kanye	August 06, 2014 05:30PM
If you like wheel of time check of Steven Erikkson - Malazan Empire series. I think it tops at 10 books? I'm on book 7 now. Better than WOT IMO (n/t)	kanye	August 06, 2014 05:29PM
That's three for Malazan so far. I think I've looked at black company before, never picked it up though. (n/t)	Matrik	August 06, 2014 05:38PM
I've read through both series and though I liked Malazan, I don't typically recommend it to others.	vortexmagus	August 10, 2014 09:48AM
Yeah, I can tell.	Matrik	August 10, 2014 11:16AM
epic sci-fi trilogy with memorable characters	morocco	August 06, 2014 05:03PM
red mars trilogy is great, i could list sci-fi for pages and pages if you want that too (n/t)	silatar	August 06, 2014 05:57PM
I'm open to it for sure.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 06:03PM
oooo I like. Will definitely try.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 05:29PM
enjoy. and try not to get turned off by all the communism (n/t)	morocco	August 08, 2014 05:27AM
Damn, you read Coldfire trilogy? Now there is 3 of us (you me and Nepenthe)! Yay!	Sam	August 06, 2014 09:18AM
Deaths gate was fun. (n/t)	demos	August 22, 2014 06:36AM
I read it. (n/t)	alansmithee	August 10, 2014 01:24PM
I like how you assume nobody else reads things. n/t	jalim	August 06, 2014 05:06PM
No, as I said in one of my NT posts to Matrik, I literally forgot we had that earlier conversation completely. NT	Sam	August 06, 2014 05:08PM
I meant specifically about the Cold Fire one. n/t	jalim	August 06, 2014 05:09PM
I read it. I just thought Vryce was a pussy for letting that Chiante chick go. Fag. (n/t)	Doof	August 06, 2014 01:32PM
You missed when he and the Prophet toppled the Empire then. Lot of CF-relevant stuff in those books. NT	Sam	August 06, 2014 03:02PM
GODDAMN IT, I HADN'T FINISHED IT YET. j/k (n/t)	Doof	August 07, 2014 12:52AM
You said that last time I mentioned the Coldfire Trilogy. (n/t)	Matrik	August 06, 2014 09:26AM
Did you read the message of my post? Just wondering. NT	Sam	August 06, 2014 11:41AM
No. I try not to read anything you write. (n/t)	Matrik	August 06, 2014 12:15PM
Oh.	Sam	August 06, 2014 11:40AM

I almost didn't even recommend anything because WoT after book 4 is such shit	silatar	August 06, 2014 11:57AM
Blasphemous cur. I struggled through.. 9 and 10 I think it was.	Matrik	August 06, 2014 12:08PM
I was kind of disappointed with the Cauthon ending. It wasn't that it was bad. I just wanted more of it! (n/t)	TJHuron	August 06, 2014 12:50PM
Agreed. Can't get enough of Lord Matt!	Matrik	August 06, 2014 01:20PM
I'll strongly echo Dark Tower and Malazan series...	silvian	August 06, 2014 06:37AM
