If you want some awesome fantasy, check out the Ice and Fire series from RR Martin.  For noir, i would recommend Falling Angel.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try and check em all out.
I need to read some Philip Dick as well.





I second the Ender's game series and Douglas Adams.  Also, if you want to get into philip K dick, I think "the three stigmata of Palmer Eldridge" is his best work

Thebooedocksaint, if you're into fantasy you NEED to check out the "fire and ice" series.

I would have to add Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan to the list. I just finished Faith of the Fallen in the Sword of Truth series for the second time. I've read all but 2 and 4 of the Wheel of Time, and that's a good series as well.

Ender's Game was a good book too, as was any of the Forgotten Realms books. The Cleric Quintet was a pretty good story.




most of that forgotten realms stuff, if not all, epitomizes what is general wrong with the fantasy genre: one gay cliche after another

Even Salvatore s stuff, which is clearly the best out of the bunch, has a major case of cheese-dick.  Especially the later spin-offs of the crystal shard trilogy

  Not much of a fan of the amber books, but this looks cool

"This thread is about suggesting books, not warning against them."

Wrong: it's about suggesting "good" books.  Hence, defining what is good, and what is not, is completely on topic

Any moderately stocked library should have some Lovecraft
