Hyperion series - 7/10. Honestly wasn't the biggest fan when I was reading it, but looking back it was pretty good.


Noted.

Discworld - varies. Some really good, depending on your preference. Start with the color of magic and try one of each storyline until you find one that sticks. I prefer the Death and Rincewind storylines.


Awesome, thanks for the tips.

Kingkiller chronicles - 8.5/10. First one was great, second dragged a bit in the middle but still enjoyable. Waiting for the 3rd patiently.


I've heard these are good. Added.

Mistborn series - 9/10 excellent. All 3.


Added.
quote:

Snow Crash - I'm sure you've read this.


Yup and love it. I like Stephenson in general.

11/22/63 - 7/10. Relevant for today and some interesting ideas, but it can be long and repetitive.


I browsed, and read it quickly, it's ok. Didn't hold me though.

The Diamond Age - 9.5/10 - one of my favorites. Right below Neverwhere, but you said you already read that one.


That's one I haven't read, I'll look into it.

Rated too low. Quite simply the best there is right now in the genre.

Rothfuss is too good of a writer to be a fantasy author.
