I read every night before I go to bed. Sometimes it's only for 20 minutes, but I always try and read a little each day. Every so often there will be droughts when looking for a new book to read, though, usually, I find one.

Harry Potter got me initially into reading, and from there onto other fantasys. (Sci Fi is ok, but not my hobby)

Wheel of Time......FUCK I DIDNT KNOW JORDAN WAS DEAD UNTIL THIS THREAD! The last few books were kinda sub par and that still didn't stop me from reading them.

Dark Tower series by Stephen King - By far the coolest series I've read. It has everything you could want, and still stays King-Esque.

Sword of Truth - WIK. I'm on book 8 and I think there are 2 more. It's still surprisingly good, and has kept me from reading anything else.

Game of Thrones - George R R Martin is a GAWD! His writing style is excellent and his overall plot is really top notch. I've never been able to see where the plot is going. He will do whatever he wants to any character and it really helps the story along, because you know the top characters are not some invincible gods that have the world at their will. Pretty realistic in it's sense of Feudalistic rule. Nice balance of intrigue and war. 5th book should be out this year.



I read slow and take my time with books, so it isn't a day long thing for me, but more like a week, usually. Each book in those series is between 400 - 1000 pages. It really adds up. Nearly every book I read is 400 + pages or else I don't feel it's worth the time to sit down and read.


Anyway, yeah.

I read quite a bit, though I can't stand reading books based on *real* stuff, so everything I read is fantasy or sci-fi.

I've mostly read Warcraft (Richard Knaak is a great author), Diablo, some random books such as Timeline, Fires of Coventry, Future War, and am beginning to read everything Warhammer (Dan Abnett is awesome).
