Aw man, I missed the party didn't I?

So many books to recommend A lovely idea this is, hopefully we'll do it again at some point!

I think ChickPea is toying with the idea of doing a SciFi one, since we had a pretty good turnout for this one...

Some of my favs:

• China Miéville's Ba-Lag series (sometimes called New Crobuzon), in particular The Scar. But they'll all pretty great. I'm a huge Miéville fan.
• I've been really into Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence, lately. I haven't read them all yet, but book two: Two Serpents Rise has been my favorite so far.
• Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books are fantastic.
• Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series has been enjoyable, in particular the first book, Lies of Locke Lamora.
• Cherie Priest's Borden Dispatches have been fun.
• Stepehen King's The Dark Tower series has been a huge influence on my writing.
• H.P. Lovecraft's work as well.

Nice one ChickPea, you've done a sterling job. Or Stirling as in the university

[ChickPea]

Hehe, thanks Straf.

[Wired]

Will there be a Part III?

[ChickPea]

Not for fantasy. If there's interest, I might try sci-fi next. Haven't quite decided yet.

Oh I could go for Sci-Fi. Definitely have some recommendations for that category. Got some for Urban Fantasy as well. Been re-reading a lot of classics in both lately.
