I'm a writer, first and foremost, gamer second, DND nut third. I read several books every month, and when I don't have anything new to read, I go back to old books and read them again. I love finding secrets, things I've missed on the first or fourth read, and have a fine appreciation for good prose, like a Frenchman does his wine.
Some examples of books I read:
Stormlight Archive - Brandon Sanderson (I read basically everything he writes. The man is an inspiration to any writer.)
The Poppy War - R.F. Kuang (Excellent prose, lifelike characters, smol angy girl hopped up on poppy, what's not to like?)
Memoirs by Lady Trent - Marie Brennan (Don't be put off by the 'Memoirs' bit, the literary trick Mrs. Brennan does is not just unique, it's enticing, provocative, and humorous.)
The Kingfountain Series - Jeff Wheeler (This shit tore my heart to pieces, and I'm not enough of a masochist to do a second readthrough. It's bloody brilliant, though.)
Shattered Sea Trilogy - Joe Abercrombie (Wouldn't recommend to anyone with a weak heart, it gets gritty in those books.)
That's about it for me. If you're wondering whether or not this post was created simply to entice more people to read these specific series, you might be onto something.
