Fanboydestroyer said:Speaking of epic fantasy series, does anyone have anything to say about the Mazalan: Book of the Fallen series? It seems intriguing, but I'm aware that the book divides people.
wayward archer said:Reading it right now. It's interesting, some really cool world building if you're into that. First three books were great, the fourth book's ending was so bad that I almost stopped reading but I decided to give it another chance. It isn't helping that book 5 (which i'm reading now) basically abandons the story of the first 4 books and covers some entirely unrelated stuff, but I hear it all comes together in the rest of the series.
The ending to book 4 left a really bad taste in my mouth.
I recall enjoying The Icarus Hunt quite a bit. That's the only non-SW novel I've read of his though.The_Inquisitor said:Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy Book 3. Damn this guy is good! I wish Lucas had done the new series to these books because the movie would have been amazing. Maybe in the future, because seriously these books have a pretty good story.
I am seriously going to read some of his non-Star Wars stuff after.

Yeah, the book is called The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich by William L. Shirer. I'm doing a bit of research for my upcoming project and this book was the first thing that was recommended to me. reading the Patton and Rommel bio at the moment and probably going to be preoccupied with it for another 2 or 3 days before having a go at the other one, but I'm looking forward to it.Blackace said:what is the title of the book in the upper left corner? looks awesome
Oh man this book RULES you are in for a fucking TREAT.Fuzz Rez said:Friend gave it to me and vouched for it. Haven't started yet but I'm expecting great things from it.

Henry Ford attempts to build a 50s era American town in the middle of the South American Jungle.
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy said:Any good? was hoping it has some awesome banter between characters ala Bug and Tehol.
eznark said:After realizing Daemon is the first in what I assume will be a long series I'm kind of done with it. It's ok as a single novel but having to read at least two more to get any sort of conclusion isn't real appetizing.
_Isaac said:It looks like it says The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L. Shirer, and somebody said it is one of the most important works of history of our time.
Mifune said:I'm loving the shit out of Endymion. Exactly what I needed after The Savage Detectives.

Mine printed like shit though. Damn.
Rubashov said:I want to try reading A Canticle for Leibowitz next, but I struggled to get into it a year ago and eventually dropped it. Any big fans here?
HiroProtagonist said:Book 5 is a great change of pace for the series up to that point, and you get to read about Tehol and his manservant - two of my favorite characters.
