I loved the original Riftwar books but Feist lost me with all the later entries into the series.  I think I quit after the Serpent War or whatever.  It turned into gritty action novels with nothing endearing.

I'm kind of drifting at the moment.  I love my Kindle Paperwhite to death but I don't have much money for books right now.  I'm thinking of going back and rereading some of my past favorites.  Maybe the Hyperion books or some of my favorite Tom Robbins novels.  Might reread the original Dragonlance books, though I very much doubt I will enjoy them as much now as when I was in middle school.

I was a huge fan of the Game of Thrones series but there was such a HUGE gap between volumes that I completely lost the feel for it.  I would have to go back and reread the first books in order to read the latest, I think, and I'm not prepared to do that yet.

Pokota on Goodreads, btw, for anyone interested.

Cloud Atlas!
Great novel, wanted to read it before i saw the film, but couldn't finish it in time. I highly recommend it!

The Song of Ice & Fire

Easily one of the best series to ever be written.

well, you made a spoiler free thread, how can you discuss the book without spoilers?  I read the book and it is awesome!  Now I have to wait for everybody else to read it before I can talk about it though...

Just picked up "Convergent" by Veronica Roth. Really good read so far.

That's true, but I was surprised how few people responded to the release of the biggest fantasy release in years that ends one of the most beloved series in fiction.

well, it was kind of an odd time of year to release it.  Probably would have had more hype if they had moved up the release a few weeks to before christmas...

edit: Also, I think Robert Jordan lost a lot of readers before sanderson took over.  I don't know that many people that have started the series and stuck with it till the end...

"A Memory of Light" is in my immediate future, but as of now I've started reading Red Country. It's the third standalone book from dark fantasy series "The First Law" by Joe Abercrombie. They're damn good, and hilarious too, if you're into black humor.

I used to read a lot. Now I only surf the net. Thanks for that, technology.

I particularly like gabriel Garcia Marquez. And the Shirke. I guess the Shrike wins.

Oh, and I liked Robert Jordan until he went bonkers with his books. I actually like Sandersons own creation better.

Just my two cents :
- Everybody here should stop everything they do and jump on 'Ender's game' straight away cause it's that great
- I started , but didn't really like a song of fire and ice. I think the good guys are too dumb and get shafted by bad guys too easily.
- LOTRO, nuff said

Now about the stuf I'd like to add
- I enjoyed the Vorkosigan Saga, which is a very nice scifi epic saga about spying, space battle, biology, and handicap.
- Read Sun Tzu !
- Lovecraft. The Mountain of Madness. The Rats in the Wall. Call of Cthulhu. Herbert West Reanimator. The Color Out of Space. Best. Novels. Ever.
- Last but not least, I've been devouring lately WH40K novels. Some are very good, I especially advise to read anything Dan Abnett wrote, especially Gaunt's Ghosts. Also, Iron Storm (one shot), and good ol' Battlefleet Gothic are pure gold made paper.

About ebooks :
- A very good way to read ebook is to use Calibre on PC to convert epub, mbp, lit, rtf, html... and Aldiko on smartphone. Ultimate combo.

EDIT : Awesome thread. That changes from flamewars and blind fanboyism. Anyway, back to Dark Souls to get killed again.
