The second to last book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, by Steven Erikson. It's been a looooong slog, but so worth it! Definitely recommended for people who like a good gritty fantasy.

Just kidding, I'm reading David Eddings - Belgariad again (not read in 15 years) so I am enjoying this again.

What a blast from the past, anywhere we can still read them maybe online?

I was lucky enough a few months ago to find all 5 books on bidorbuy for R150 + 30 zar delivery.
I use to have a pdf version somewhere but never got into it, iPad 2 weighs alot more than a paperback

Just finished Freedom of the Mask, book 6 in the Matthew Corbett series by Robert Mccammon. Just did a marathon, rereading the whole series, which is brilliant, in anticipation of book 7, which is out in January, can't wait.

I quite enjoyed his Trevor Lawson novellas. Should probably read more of his stuff.

Currently busy with the 2nd The Expanse book, Caliban's War. Enjoying it.

Matthew Corbett series is on my radar.

But talking about Mccammon, I came here to say, Swan Song is one of my favourite books of all time. Similar premise to The Stand, but better all round I thought. I’m actually due a re—read some time soon.

Enjoyed Blindsight by Peter Watts. Great sci-fi novel.

Foundation and Empire - Isaac Asimov

Came here for some more recommendations - think I'll tackle Swan Song next - but at the moment am ploughing through William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience. At least it's elevating my English.

If you looking for some good sci-fi where the alien life is completely different, get this one. I loved this book. 4/5

Stopped at about 68% into the book. The alien part was great, the human part was trite. Ended up skipping the human parts just to get to the alien chapters then gave up.

Now trying this:

Goodwin apparently made a prediction about labour and when it failed he only ate a page instead of the promised book. Would be a good read if the authors didn't hold biased views. Otherwise it'd be like reading some self aggrandisement piece.

Shoe dog all done ..

On to Sapiens...

Can anyone recommend where to start with Brandon Sanderson books? Which one is a good place to start with, or which one is the start, if you know what I mean?
