Books on your nightstand? Last thing you read? :)

Perhaps not so much novels, but someone made an app that encompasses the Lone Wolf Saga gamebooks by Joe Dever, and I've been hooked on playing/reading through that in my spare time.

I used to have a collection of Endless Quest books when I was younger and while the Lone Wolf Saga is fairly old, I've never been exposed to it, so its a new experience and nostalgic at the same time.

Well I like this one.

And a decent followup... which I find incorporates some of the same elements.

And Arakis has found a crazy interest in this one, reads it all the time.

A hilarious story that I may have related to a little to personally.

Reading this now as well. Also :

The curious incident of the dog in the night time.

You might enjoy this one as well. Story is written from the asperger child's perspective.

I have no mouth and I must scream. Reading it every night before bed. Again. And again. And again..

Finished Deadhouse Gates in my audiobook "re-read" of The Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Hidden: show

While the rest of the book is somewhat mediocre and even boring at times, the Chain of Dogs march remains one of my favorite Malazan stories. Coltaine's death and the slaughter of his last remaining forces got me all choked up again.

Memories of Ice is up next

I am reading Liar's Key by Mark Lawrence.

I highly recommend all of his books. He has two trilogies out, The Broken Empire and the Red Queens War. They are a medieval fantasy type. The protagonist in the first series starts as a Jaded 13 year old prince leading a band of bandits to wreak havoc and terror across the country side after his father sort of disowns him. It starts dark, but its a very good series.

Lawrence's writing style is fantastic in both trilogies. He does a first person perspective, and does a great job of presenting reality through the lense of his character. He does this thing in the first book where every chapter has a small anecdote about a member of his bandit group and sometimes a life lesson he has learned from them.

In later books the character discovers a diary of his lover after she is gone, and each chapter reveals thoughts and actions she took that coincided with the last chapter of the book. Its seriously fun getting to know the characters in his books, and the way he does it is just fantastic.

Seriously, get Prince of Thorns and read it immediately!

Classic. Read it way back when.

The Black Prism

Finished a second reading of that a few weeks ago. Interesting book, but not as good as The Way of Shadows IMO.

My favourite series of all time is The Demon Princes by Jack Vance. I must have read the books at least 7 times (probably due an 8th in the next couple of years). JV's D&D claim to fame is (OFC) laying the basis of Magic in his Dying Earth Novels (also brilliant, natch). But TDP is even better than DE, at least IMNSHO.

If you haven't read any JV, then you are a deprived (and possibly depraved) person. DT almost certainly hasn't...

[Grimdark Hitman]

I recommend reading Richard Morgan's gritty scifi: Altered Carbon, and Charles Gibson's Neuromancer before reading (well, the ordering doesn't really matter!) Joe Abercrombie's (coincidentally Brent Weeks most bitter rival) collection of new short stories titled: Sharp Ends
