I enjoyed the game of thrones book series, and just about anything I've read from Piers Anthony. I haven't read comics in years, but was always partial to the x men.

I'm starting A Game of Thrones after I finish the Lies of Locke Lamora.

Thetrufflehunter

Artemis fowl, Ender's Game, I am Number Four, Fablehaven, and The Gateway To Foo were all really good.

Daredevil. Spawn.
Killing Joke
Dark and fun stories although daredevil kinda gets redundant
Also semi related but Under The Red Hood was pretty decent on Netflix spoiler* starts out with Joker beating Robin to death with a crowbar. Also has Jensen Ackles from Supernatural.

Killing Joke was fantastic. First thing ever to show the Joker's backstory (even if it wasn't for real.)

Shadridium

It's a small series but I enjoyed "the looking glass wars" it was a very strange take on Alice in wonderland and did a great job keeping me occupied for a bit.

Dresden Files!!

I really would like to read this... I have tripped the series on netflix... And the books must be amazing...:)

Anyway I am a little picky with the fantasy literature I am more like classic fantasy reader: Prachett, Sapkowski, Tolkien... Also Christopher Paolini and his Eragon series...:)

And what I really love is Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker's pentalogy...:D (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of Universe, The Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, And Thanks for All the Fish, Mostly Harmless)

Been reading a lots of Dean Koontz lately. I enjoy THE real-life situations with a sci-fi twist. He has a decent amount of suspense.

Well I mean if he has to have a backstory he likes to keep it multiple choice c;

Just picked up the first book in the gentlemen bastards series lets see how this goes

How are you liking it? I finished it earlier this week.

I just finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. It's a quick read (started it this morning, took a four hour break to play The Last of Us, and just finished it) and is highly recommended.

I love that game. Was sad though...
