The Wheel of Time Series

[Android-18]

Cell really likes it, he's read them all. I'm personally not into it, but Freiza is right. If you liked the first one get the next one, if you didn't like it then try something else.

Honestly, the first book is a bit difficult to get through. It has a descriptive world that Dickens would be proud of, and is very deep. A lot of the "random side characters" that just appear for a single page become major players later in the series. It is my favorite book series riding alongside Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth. I am only on the "Lord of Chaos" book though, and have been for two years. I just have had no time to read more than a couple of pages per month. But if I'm sticking with it like that, then you know it's good. Just read the second book before you really judge your opinion on it. It's far easier to get through than the first (took me forever for Eye of the World) and will grab your interest. If you don't like it, go for the Sword of Truth series, beginning at Wizard's First Rule. It's a lot less descriptive about what color the wall of the mud hut is, and has some very interesting and hilarious Wizard's Rules, along with new ways of looking at magic in general. Very good thought provoking series, and the only series I've read that one of the main characters killed a "healer" (one that was using his knowledge of the human body to kill and rape the post-mortem prostetutes by stabbing them in the vertabrae to hear the scream while paralyzed, one sadistic fuck) by forcing him to swallow his own testicles. Yeah, go book four, Temple of the Winds. Best book in the series. Read it, but in that one, book 3, Blood of the Fold, is a bit hard to get through. All series have their hard books, and in WoT, the first one is it. (unless there are harder books later).

Anyone ever read any of the Myth series by Robert Asprin? (Myth-ing Persons, Hit or Myth, etc.)

Those are some pretty good fantasy novels right there. Lots of comedy.

Personally I think the Myst series is very good. The game actually puts it to shame as being a sort of 'thinking person's thing' when it's really a very deep story. The descriptions of things in the book isn't too extreme, but it gives you enough so when you close your eyes you can see if easily.

The games are alright, a lot of thinking involved in them though. Characters and all around view in the game is amazing though, almost looks like you can reach out and touch the water or prick a leaf from a bush. But the books are really something to go for, plus they'll help your Rping! *luvs* Mostly because... I think it was the third book?... had a lot of fighting and death involved in it, which means nice descriptions of fights.
