Thread: Books worth Reading

<3 book depository - getting the Absolute Sandman books air freighted for free (with a minimal price increase over Amazon's normal prices excluding freight) was friggin awesome.

Incidentally, whether you're into comics or not, I can't recommend Neil Gaiman's Sandman series enough. Some utter fucking brilliance in there (enough to merit it winning the World Fantasy Award for best short fiction - something that has never been won by a comic, and never can be again as the rules were changed immediately afterward to prevent a comic being eligible). Also, because it's Neil Gaiman - forget NOTHING. Everything he has in his stories is there for a reason as per proper story telling - not like that Matthew Reilly tripe where things are only there 'coz thay sownd cool'.

Apparently you missed where they just cancelled our preorders for no reason. :p

apparently you missed where I saved somewhere close to $100 on freight and didn't have to wait 6 weeks for the books i ordered

This is an awesome thread Harbinger

My books are
Star Trek Books All but i still need more
Frank herbert's Dune Books

i just need suggestions on good books im more Sci fi and stuff like the Doom, Star Trek dune type

read some real sci-fi - Hamilton books mentioned earlier in the thread, Ben Bova, Ray Bradbury,etc. Asimov tells good stories, but like Tolkien, his style isn't for everyone.

heck, given you like City of heroes and champions, give the Wild Cards series a go (edited by the fucking legendary George R R Martin) - they've just started re-releasing them so you dont have to throw away $$$ on eBay for hard to find books.

I think there was a perfectly good reason. The pre-orders were cheaper than the full price, and they are cunts.

Im a HUGE star trek fan, but for some reasons the books just dont seem to hold my attention.
And if your a nerd/geek and dont like dune you deserve to be stoned to death.

Atm im reading a series of 7 books called "the wardstone chronicles" that are actually aimed at 12 year old, but ive noticed that as an older person you see a darker side to the story that kids wouldnt even notice, and TBH im really enjoying them.
