And live on the 99 cent books that have high votes and downloads. They're surprisingly good.

Read anything by David Dalglish. Dance of Cloaks is probably his best series, but they're all based in the same world. A world which is very similiar to CF.

Need a new book series to read.

As a military guy, you'd probably really enjoy the Jack Reacher books written by Lee Child. ~

Don't.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 04, 2011 06:47AM

I usually have three or four books going at once.

Java September 04, 2011 07:06AM

The Hunger Games. You'll read all 3 in two days...

wrathpuppet September 01, 2011 04:15PM

These were excellent. Read the whole thing in 3 days. Reminded me a little of the Tripod trilogy n/t

Lokain September 02, 2011 09:34AM

Of all the books in the entire Dark Tower universe...

Sam September 01, 2011 04:49PM

I liked Insomnia a lot. Also Hearts in Atlantis.

wrathpuppet September 01, 2011 05:19PM

Also, I know I'll get laughed at...

Sam September 01, 2011 03:17PM

Speaking of detectives

TaterPig September 02, 2011 05:05AM

ROFL. Just started on those. I love them.

I'm glad you reminded me of the Davids, more inside (and one disagreement)

alansmithee September 01, 2011 11:25AM

Matrik September 01, 2011 12:48PM

Having studied your tendencies extensively, along with years worth of training in understanding people, I have developed a list of books tailored to your needs.

paulstrack September 01, 2011 08:06AM

Add the mask of command in there and you've got a pretty good little list. (n/t)

demos September 02, 2011 04:25AM

I'll throw the list in, along with my esteemed colleagues:

Isildur(VIP) September 01, 2011 07:11AM

I agree on the Merlin trilogy.

Sam September 01, 2011 03:19PM

OMGROFL you said Harry Potte... wait those books are incredibly well-written. smtxt

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 01, 2011 07:18AM

I liked the HP books much more than I did the movies.

zannon September 01, 2011 07:51AM

21 hours of driving followed by two readings cover-to-cover?

Matrik September 01, 2011 07:25AM

Actually it was coffee and dedication, though also fine herbal enjoyment, believe it or not.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 01, 2011 08:00AM

Heh fair enough,

Matrik September 01, 2011 08:50AM

Damn you! I was just editing my post to include all these (except Harry Potter, ugh). More inside.

alansmithee September 01, 2011 07:17AM

Faded Sun and Coldfire trilogies. (n/t)

Matrik September 01, 2011 07:10AM

Yay!

Sam September 01, 2011 02:35PM

ORB September 01, 2011 06:45AM

Generally liked these. txt

Isildur(VIP) September 01, 2011 07:05AM

These series will keep you busy for years. Some have several trilogies.

alansmithee September 01, 2011 06:41AM

Stieg Larson is awesome.

Shannara gets SO much better after the first 3. (Text)

Treebeard September 01, 2011 09:51AM

Some are better than others. The very first, the Sword of Shanarah, was the first fantasy book ever on the NYTimes bestseller list. Nice bit of trivia. (n/t)

alansmithee September 01, 2011 07:07AM

Agree. Disappointing. (n/t)

Artificial September 01, 2011 07:05AM

Hidden gem: The Mars Trilogy. Red Mars Green Mars Blue Mars

morocco September 01, 2011 06:33AM

Sword of Truth. (n/t)

Artificial September 01, 2011 06:27AM

Wasn't there a Sword of Truth TV series for a season or two?

Java September 01, 2011 06:36AM

Definitely my favorite series. Also consider Xanth, a much less serious series, but excellent (n/t)

Artificial September 01, 2011 06:56AM

Actually, if you're going to suggest a Piers Anthony series, I'd go the Blue Adept rather than Xanth, or at least not beyond the first 3 Xanth books. The Blue Adept series rocked. (n/t)

alansmithee September 01, 2011 06:57AM

His Incarnation series was pretty good too.

zannon September 01, 2011 07:47AM

Yah, but On A Pale Horse was by far the best and it went downhill, unfortunately. Worth reading though at least the first two. (n/t)

alansmithee September 01, 2011 07:57AM

I'd have to agree the first book was the best. Evil was pretty good too.

zannon September 01, 2011 08:18AM

Oooooh... I forgot Piers altogether, excellent calls- Xanth and Incarnation are both great in their own right! nt

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 01, 2011 08:03AM

I'm telling you, try the Blue Adept series. You'll thank me. (n/t)

alansmithee September 01, 2011 08:04AM

Your signal is five by five, I will check it out- thank you in advance!

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 01, 2011 08:40AM

Upon devoting much time to the Blue Adept series, I have concluded that you will indeed thank alansmithee. (n/t)

paulstrack September 01, 2011 08:10AM

And I thank you as well! nt (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul September 01, 2011 08:40AM

Yes, and the lead woman, Bridget Regan, is gorgeous. It only lasted 2 seasons.
