Southern America in the 1930s was racist! It's not like they made this stuff up...

It's not generic "lol racism", anyway. It's about how one man who believes in equality stands up to a racist society.

tagged. i need some new books.

im about to start reading Out by Natsuo Kirino for the 3rd time. its a crime novel set in Japan, but it has an emotional story. its pretty good.

I totally love this. (Tells the story between GEOW 2 and Geow 3).
But for sure not only a must for the Geow fans...


And also (to improve my English).

Re read the count of monte cristo, the 1.5k page version. It was still as awesome as the first time I read it.

Still reading Leviathan.  Really good book by the way.  It actually contains artwork by Keith Thompson who did some of the concept art for Borderlands.

Care to give a quick synopsis? I really enjoyed Sword of Truth series so it'd have to be earth-shattering to be better in my mind.

Sword of Truth is basically (in some documented cases, exactly so) a rip-off of Wheel of Time and a few other major fantasy series. 

Wheel of Time is a landmark fantasy series, probably only eclipsed in the past two decades in genre significance by George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire'--which was a complete game changer and ushered in a new age of "gritty, realistic" fantasy, as opposed to the previously-dominant swords-and-sorcery fantasty of the 80's/early nineties.

Anyway, The Wheel of Time has been around since the early 1990's and is set to (finally) conclude next year in volume 14. There's also a prequel. So, reading it is a big commitment, but it's totally worth it. Some of the later books drag if your read them on their own, but if you plow through the series in one straight shot they hold up pretty well.

Imagine Sword of Truth without all the philosophical pandering, poorly disguised parables, and much more well-drawn, memorably characters. It takes place in a very-elaborately detailed pre-industrial fantasy world. Grab the first book, "The Eye of the World', and trust me, you won't be disappointed. 

If no-one has said it yet: the Road my Cormack McCarthy is a book everyone should read. Very easy book but so moving. exceptionally good if you like apocolyptic type stories.

Also loving the Horus Heresy series by the Black Library, a range of really good writers who love writing about a wary grim dark future. a must read if you like anything Warhammer 40,000 or scie-fi

Finally World War Z by Max Brooks - because you have to know what's coming...

I hope you're wrong.  I just purchased the first book.

Well, maybe not terrible, but certainly not up to Farseer/Tawny Man scratch. Starts off good but it's just so relentlessly depressing.
