So, I'm a big fan of fantasy books. I've read a lot of them. But I don't know where to go next! Do any of you read fantasy and have any suggestions?

did you ever read any of Eric Van Lustbader Pearl series? The Ring of Five Dragons, The Veil of 1000 Tears, and The Mistress of the Pearl

I was super into them for a while, but am sort of pissed because he started writing cash cow Jason Bourne books instead of the rest of the story.

No I never read any of those, maybe I will check them out. I never ended up finishing Elric either, maybe I will pick up some of those.

Have you read George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series? The books are loooong and the series is still ongoing, but I've enjoyed the two I've read so far.

No I haven't read those but I just checked out some reviews and it sounds good. I'm gonna get the first one. :) Thanks!

There's a 4 book trilogy called Memory Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. I thoroughly enjoyed it, starts with "Dragonbone Chair." If I can dig them up, I'll lend them to you, but I'm not sure if they're in my house or my mom's.

If you're into sci-fi, I'd suggest Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. You can also have my copy of this.

I read Xanth and Discworld when I was younger, but honestly I can't really suggest those too much. They got too long and "in joke-y," if you ask me. Might be worth reading the first book or two of each, if you feel like it. I also might be able to find some of these.

I suck at reading anymore. I haven't been able to get through Good Omens yet, OR some of the others I've tried.

I've mostly been doing podcasts of audio books and stories.
