Jordan's wheel of time fell off a cliff after book 8, though his last book before he died did get a bit better. A little too soon to say fell off a cliff since he has only written two books, but the drop off between Rothfuss's first and second books was gigantic....

It's a very solid book, though not one of my favorite ones by gaiman. ...

On your list I'm really looking forward to: A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie Blood of Empire by Brian McClellan Fate of the Fallen by Kel Kade I'm sure I'll check out The Wolf's Call, but hopefully it's better than the end of the series it was a sequel to (I'm hoping so since his Draconis Me...

[quote]Just curious, is there a fantasy series you haven’t read? Seriously with work and kids, I struggle to read 2 books a month. It seems like you’ve read everything. I wish I could be more proficient. [/quote] :lol: I know it probably seems that way I guess, but mainly it is a combination...

[quote]Anyone ever read the Dagger and the Coin series by Daniel Abraham? [/quote] It's a very solid series, it's worth reading. Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet is quite good as well....

[quote]Good. He needs to take his time. The last three Dresden books were meh, good, meh. In his rush to release he has compromised quality.[/quote] The last one was very good, don't know what you are talking about there. Ghost story was pretty average, I'll give you that, but it was mostly becau...

If you liked black company then Steven Erikson's malazan books would be a natural choice...

Definitely the worst braves draft I can remember in a long time, particularly given the number of picks we had. The first pick was a small reach but not insane, but these last two picks are completely baffling. Wtf are we even spending our slot money on? No way any of these guys should be over slot....

Two reaches, what a horrible draft so far. I was defending AA this summer, but holy crap this is making it hard. Really really unimpressed....

[quote]Dont love those picks but they are better than Davidson, Hoese, or Busch. Still want a prep pitcher. [/quote] Carroll (or if Abrahms slipped down to 9 somehow as suggested by FG in their latest mock) and a prep pitcher with 21 would be ideal. Would be nice if Priester could drop to us t...

[quote] I’ve tried Dresden on several occasions but just can’t get into it. [/quote] How many books did you get in? Cause yeah,the first two books are pretty mediocre, 3rd starts to get a bit better, but it really doesn't start to take off until books 4 and 5, at which point it is outstanding t...

It's a very solid series. Not nearly as good as his Dresden Files series, and not top tier for current fantasy authors or anything, but well worth reading. Hopefully Butcher gets it back together as an author, he's turned into Rothfuss/Martin lite with the long book turnaround all the sudden (tho...

They are mindless fun that gets very repetitive after the first few books. I'd suggest Robert Ludlum and Jack Higgins for better authors in the same genre and time period....

Yeah,I took that as an homage to Tuco in the good, the bad, the ugly as well. And it was awesome....

Bowfinger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and All of Me would be my favorites....

[quote]Do we know how many books are planned for the series? [/quote] Not sure, I know he's working on a third the Band book of some sort at the moment though....

[quote]Also is Kings of the Wyld that well known? I can't ever find it in the bookstore and hadn't heard of it until earlier this thread. [/quote] Yeah, I didn't think it was that well known either myself. I hadn't read it myself until I saw Scruffy posting about it in this thread and decided to...

[quote]was the exact same in the last scene of the series as he was in the first. There was no much depth to him at all. [/quote] [quote]I dont know why, but I havent read any of the spinoffs/prequels. Pretty bad on my part seeing as they are some of my favorite books of all time.[/quote] You ...

[quote]You think Wax and Wayne is more going on than I am looking for?[/quote] I think he was just assuming you didn't want gritty or convoluted at all, which Wax and Wayne does have a little bit. Did you ever read Faithful and the fallen Fun Bunch? That series has that lighter old school feel...

[quote]Also that series is complete correct? the book he put out last year was the final one? [/quote] Yeah, The Infernal Battalion (book 5) is the final one in the series. I never read any of the prequel short stories for the series, so can't comment on those....
