I'll bite.

I, personally, am a major fan of fantasy and Sci-fi, all of that good stuff. I am currently working on The Mortal Instruments Series: City of Heavenly Fire. I have read The Whole Hunger Games Series, still remain a fan of both Percy Jackson series's and then there is always the Divergent. I am going to start reading some Dean Koontz here within the next couple of weeks and then there is always good old fashioned Stephen King. On a belated note, I am also reading It.

I liked Hunger Games weeeeell enough I suppose, I felt Collins really dropped the ball in the last book and the series got progressively worse with each installment and I found the ending to be wildly dissatisfying. It left a horrible taste in my mouth with that "make everyone happy!!!!" epilogue. Dean Koontz is of course a very talented writer. Stephen King I will be totally honest is very hit or miss in my opinion? If you like Fantasy I wholeheartedly recommend The Wheel of Time, The Abhorsen saga, and the Bartimaeus saga all of which are fantasy and INCREDIBLE reads, in my opinion.

I have never read Percy Jackson, Mortal Instruments, etc. I was on a John Green kick for awhile because I looooove his platitudes he delivers that don't feel really contrived or anything in my opinion and I definitely respect what his works do for his target audience as far as teen genre books go.

I just finished Leviathan Wakes, which I would definitely recommend.

@Sypherkhode822

That seems like I something I am definitely going to check out! Honestly, I've never really set foot in the Sci-Fi genre, I used to read a lot of Fantasy, but I quickly started falling in love with more realistic fiction authors.

Heyo!

Is that hell in Simbas eyes or just a reflection?

The Library Table

Searching the most bumped topics, I only saw a thread for book recommendations. This is a thread for members of the community to discuss what they are reading, what they have read, as well as what they plan to read. An open table to discuss what you are reading, give and get recommendations and just to kind of roll around in yummy books. So to get things kicked off, I am currently reading The Familiar, by Mark Z. Danielewski. Compared to House of Leaves, it really hasn't started to live up to what I think makes the writer a complete cut above the rest, not displaying any particular great ideas or captivating dialogue/setting. Mostly mystery and plot set-up thus far, but still no complaints as I do have a ton of faith in the author given his past works I have read. I just got done with The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien which was fantastic. The voice was strong, consistent and really drives home a lot of the emotion, or lack thereof that was carried at the time period giving a taste of modern and past viewpoints on the war that occured at the novels heart.

As for what I am a fan of? Vonnegut, mostly. Love his works. Coming of age books are a huge genre that I am love with, as well as comedy (Three Bags Full, anything by Christopher Moore). Currently considering reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, some entries into the Ender Saga and some other series I casually follow. Working on The Wheel of Time series in tandem currently.

What is RPG reading? What would RPG recommend? What wine pairs with what you are reading? Favorite reading setting? Anything else slightly book related? Discuss.

spam all stars: at guild's end development log

I am very disappointed by the lack of all-stars in a thread titled "Spam All-Stars".

Although it is nice to see so many of the none-game-represented-figures-of-the-past! Reo, Aza AND a Hank?

Goodbye to #roleplayerguild IRC chat

We really do need a cool kid IRC channel again.

Lolol it doesn't help that's what I've said every time before too. We'll see how it pans out, I am a busy person.
