what are some of your favorite book series?
mine are (in no specific order): The Dark Tower by Stephen King (fav books out of this series are: book 3 The Wastelands, book 5 Wolves of the Calla, and book 7 The Dark Tower) Border Trilogy by Cormack McCarthy Dune series by Frank Herbert (read the first three) The Courtney series by Wilbur Smith (When The Lion Feeds, The Sound of Thunder, A Sparrow Falls) When The Lion Feeds is one of my favorite books. The Egyptian series by Wilbur Smith (only reccomend this because River God is so good and Warlock is a good sequel to river god. the quest is ehh okay) just started getting into fantasy books and i like it. i read the hobbit and the lord of the rings when i was a kid but i havent really got into the genre until now. Gardens of the Moon, book 1 of Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson. im halfway through book 1 and i have to say that it's very very good. super gritty and violent with great characters. 10 book series btw |

Joe Ledger series is great! By comic writer Jonathan Maberry.
"The Walking Dead" even though it's a graphic novel it is still a top notch continuing read. "Intensity" by Dean Koontz The "Jack Reacher" series by Lee Child is by far the best writing I have read. If you have not heard of it you need to definitely check it out. Earl and Bob Lee Swagger series' are great also. One of NonFiction about a marine sniper by the name of *Charles Hathc***e" ( I think I spelled his name right ). Either way he has intense stories about his situations during his time in the military in times of war. Check it out! |

i'm reading House of Chains right now, book 4 of "A Tale of The Malazan Book of The Fallen" series by Steven Erikson. so far it's the best series i've ever read ha. this series is super gritty with plenty of grey characters and a very interesting/unique magic system.
Karsa Orlong, Ganoes Paran, Quick Ben, and Kalam are my favs
this is an excerpt from House of Chains. i know it's long but i gotta post it haha
The shoreline ahead probably did not deserve the word, but nothing else came to Trull Sengar's mind as he was dragged along its verge. The beach was nothing more than silt, heaped against a huge wall that seemed to stretch from horizon to horizon. The wall had withstood the flood, though water now streamed down it on the opposite side.
Bodies on his left, a sheer drop of seven, maybe eight man-heights to his right, the top of the wall itself slightly less than thirty paces across; that it held back an entire sea whispered of sorcery. The broad, flat stones underfoot were smeared with mud, but already drying in the heat, dun-coloured insects dancing on its surface, leaping from the path of Trull Sengar and his captors. Trull still experienced difficulty comprehending that notion. Captors. A word he struggled with. They were his brothers, after all. Kin. Faces he had known all his life, faces he had seen smile, and laugh, and faces---at times---filled with a grief that had mirrored his own. He had stood at their sides through all that had happened, the glorious triumphs, the soul-wrenching losses. Captors. There were no smiles, now. No laughter. The expressions of those who held him were fixed and cold. What we have come to. The march ended. Hands pushed Trull Sengar down, heedless of his bruises, the cuts and the gouges that still leaked blood. Massive iron rings had been set, for some unknown purpose, by this world's now-dead inhabitants, along the top of the wall, anchored in the heart of the huge stone blocks. The rings were evenly spaced down the wall's length, at intervals of fifteen or so paces, for as far as Trull could see. Now, those rings had found a new function. Chains were wrapped around Trull Sengar, shackles hammered into place on his wrists and ankles. A studded girdle was cinched painfully tight about his midriff, the chains drawn through iron loops and pulled taut to pin him down beside the iron ring. A hinged metal press was affixed to his jaw, his mouth forced open and the plate pushed in and locked in place over his tongue. The Shorning followed. A dagger inscribed a circle on his forehead, followed by a jagged slash to break that circle, the point pushed deep enough to gouge the bone. Ash was rubbed into the wounds. His long single braid was removed with rough hacks that made a bloody mess of his nape. A thick, cloying unguent was then smeared through his remaining hair, massaged down to the pate. Within a few hours, the rest of his hair would fall away, leaving him permanently bald. The Shorning was an absolute thing, an irreversible act of severance. He was now outcast. To his brothers, he had ceased to exist. He would not be mourned. His deeds would vanish from memory along with his name. His mother and father would have birthed one less child. This was, for his people, the most dire punishment---worse than execution by far. Yet, Trull Sengar had committed no crime. And this is what we have come to. They stood above him, perhaps only now comprehending what they had done. A familiar voice broke the silence. 'We will speak of him now, and once we have left this place, he will cease to be our brother.' 'We will speak of him now,' the others intoned, then one added, 'He betrayed you.' The first voice was cool, revealing nothing of the gloat that Trull Sengar knew would be there. 'You say he betrayed me.' 'He did, brother.' 'What proof do you have?' 'By his own tongue.' 'Is it just you who claims to have heard such betrayal spoken?' 'No, I too heard it, brother.' 'And I.' 'And what did our brother say to you all?' 'He said that you had severed your blood from ours.' 'That you now served a hidden master.' 'That your ambition would lead us all to our deaths---' 'Our entire people.' 'He spoke against me, then.' 'He did.' 'By his own tongue, he accused me of betraying our people.' 'He did.' |
