Followed by (parallel storyline to Magician trilogy):
Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire, Mistress of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts.

YES YES YES!

I am currently reading Rage of a Demon Prince. I am not a big reader at all, and it wasn't until my wife pointed out a book for me to read (Daughter of the Empire). I couldn't put it down.

I can also recomment the Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop.

You mean Demon King right? :P

Again, probably my favourite fantasy series, they kinda dip a bit after the Conclave of Shadows saga, but as I said in my last post, the latest one was the best in like ten books imo

Ah yes....lol.....I forget, they all blend into one massive saga...it's awesome. Disappointed I read the Empire series first, but it was funny going back to the start and reading aboyut Milamber.

I recommend anything by Robin Hobb, and Harry Turtledove, I also recommend The Chrysalids, Ice 9, and if you are a fan of maths Flatland.

Yay, good thread is alive again

I'm just getting around to reading Dune, have seen the movie before (in high school) but never read it. Love love loving it

Also read the first Hunger Games book, short but really enjoyed that too... and have the first Game of Thrones waiting for me after Dune! (^_^)

Saga of the Seven Suns by Kevin J Anderson.

Seven book series, so you won't run out. The books aren't too big, and it's easily one of the best sci-fi series' ever written and available at almost any book store or library. Some seriously good writing in it. Everyone who appreciates sci-fi will appreciate it.

If you're a fan of hard sci-fi like I am (science fiction that tries to have some grounding in realistic physics, very rarely is FTL possible in hard sci-fi, for example) then anything by Stephen Baxter might interest you. He has a series of alternate history books about how different the space race could have been had Kennedy not died, which could have lead to a much more daring attempt at landing Mars (and the serious issues that would present themselves).

I often enjoy books like that as they're much more tangible and easy to imagine while reading, I often find with books like Dune (whilst still amazing books) that the worlds they're in are often very vague in descriptive elements except when immediately necessary.

If you're into distopias (which have a sci-fi element typically) Brave New World and 1984 are a must!

Post-Apocalyptic fiction written in the 50's that blows chunks in your brain meat ? DO IT.

Fantasmical.

Without a doubt, you should definitely try the Hunger Games. If you buy the first book, I garuntee it will get you hooked. The author is just amazing at sucking people in and making sure they don't put the book down. And don't be discouraged to by the other two books because you don't want to the same thing all over again. Each and very book has it's own atmosphere and feel to the book. Definitely try that out.

Ja, just got around to the first one. Took about 2 seconds to read, but hey. Very cool.
