I've read Weaveworld, excellent book. I've not read Imajica yet, I'm planning to read Everville after The Great And Secret Show as I believe it's the sequel to TGASS. Everville's pretty decent as well (and I think he's writing a 3rd), as is Sacrament (a bit odd, but worth sticking with). Galilee an...

Fantastic book, if you like it and haven't already read them, I recommend Weaveworld and Imajica as well.

Currently rocking this bad motherfucker: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CVR5XT01L._SS500_.jpg Be prepared for a nosedive in quality in the later books Oh god. By book 4 maybe I was loosing the will to live. I'm still not entirely sure what possessed me to carry on reading the entire series...

Really want to get this, but only on book 2 of the series, & I believe they start to go downhill in the later books. Would it be cheating too much to skip books 3 to 11?

can anyone recommend a sci-fi/fantasy book with a decent enough twist to it, i.e. not just typically sci-fi/fantasy, preferably not 800 pages long and part of an epic 27 piece saga or something, preferably just a stand alone/trilogy? Both are pretty long but at least not part of a series, and they ...

Poppy Z. Brite is a beautiful writer. I can literally just sit there and read her books all in one go. In particular a book by her called "Exquisite Corpse" which is just as dark as it sounds but an excellant read if you're into your dark horror with a hint of erotica. Exquisite Corpse is...

Not packing for Bloodstock as I couldn't find anyone to go with and I hated the idea of going on my own. I've got things planned for the weekend but none involve watching Dimmu Borgir. :( Ditto. I feel like crying. literally. Glad I'm not the only one, but it sucks for us. I couldn't go this time f...

Went to the tiny WHSmith by our work, they didn't have Terrorizer and fancied a lunchtime read, it was between Heat and Metal Hammer, foolishly I picked Metal Hammer. The reviews of Amorphis album and of Wacken made me very, very angry. Especially the Wacken review, they missed out most of the bands...

Umm!! Anyone like Robert Rankin, its like Pratchett for adults fantasy/houmour really worth getting into I think just finished the his latest The Da Da De Da Da Code, knows his music too. Presently reading Twisted Souls by Shaun Hutson, good easy read nothing taxing a horror story quite entertainin...

Love a bit of fantasy, esp Tolkein of course, Terry Goodkind (Wizards First Rule and Stone of Tears especially), Terry Pratchett. If you can get hold of it I seriously recommend (if you enjoy humerous fantasy) Craig Shaw Gardner's Ebenezum Trilogy / Ballad of Wuntvor Trilogy, possibly the funniest b...
