What are you guys currently or planning on reading?

I’ve just bought the game of thrones books so that’s what I’ll be that reading soon. How about you??

I have finished reading The Second Sons trilogy by JENNIFER Fallon, first book is The Lion of Senet.

Its interesting in that it is non-magical, and not really about battles. Its largely intrigue, plotting, and mystery. The setting is on a Twin-Sunned planet where there is no night, and primarily follows are young man who is a math prodigy that is able to calculate some astronomical phenomenon the knowledge of which threatens to undermine the state-religious power of some matriarchal cult.

I don't consider it one of the greats, but it is decent. What I do think it has going for it, that no one else I am aware of has seemed to manage, is making a fantasy series that is largely unconcerned with with legendary battles, dark lords, and apocalypses but still feels grand and sweeping in its stakes and consequences.

What are your thoughts on licanius trilogy?

>>20130701
I have read none of these. I doubt they are decent.

>>20131405
I've heard good things, but I think it's targeted at younger readers. Not that that is a bad thing, just what I've heard. THAT THAT, goddamn

>>20132024
>that that
You cleary are immature, you should read that book series.

Stop bumping your shit thread already, OP. Nobody is going to use it. Also, stop copying other posts and changing your IP.

Are there any good, recent sword and sorcery?

>>20132661

Whats the point in reading this series? It was spoiled in the worst way by HBO and GRRM turned into an asshole and won't finish. Also Dance and Feast of Crows are said to be trash. So you have an incomplete series where the quality drops and the Author's ending was spoiled by a very poorly made TV series finale.

This general is fucking dead, isn’t it?

Rothfuss > Bakker

Quality over quanity, anon.

>>20133011
What would you recommend then?

>>20132619
Hey, James Islington

>>20133011
Because even so, it still manages to be significantly better than most fantasy written in the past couple of decades, unfortunately. I'd rather be stuck forever reading those five books, than be forced to read even a single shitty, formulaic book by Sanderson, for example

>>20134614
All it has is shock value, once you get over it you will never give those books a second glance.

Been wanting to get into science fiction, but never got around to it, but now I have some money to spend, so recommend your favorite books, thanks..

>>20135593
How about using the threads that’s actually active instead of bumping this shitty dead one.

>>20135593
So, you ask the thread that's dead?

>>20135601
How about actually recommending some books?

>>20136092
Try to make your bumping if a dead thread less obvious next time, dumbass.

>>20136092
OP, please, just stop.

>>20133506
Clearly /lit/ has been invaded by redditors

>>20136311
Stop bumping this thread already. No one is going to use it.

>>20136313
Why?

Any books with a cunning power hungry protagonist that'll do anything to get more powerful? Preferably a protagonist that starts at the bottom and isn't respected, but uses magic and wits to gain power. Also, preferably not cultivation?
