I have a small question please reply when you can
15 years ago
Oh this is nothing too big, but I would really like to know of any new books I can listen too? You see, I don't read novles very well. I tend to fall asleep when reading them, now listening to them via audiobook I can really enjoy the story (depinding on who is the one reading it)
Books I finished:
Harry potter (all)
chronicles of narina (asland is such a jug headed god)
the Halo series (the fall of reach was my fav. Can't wait to see how the game will work the story)
and So far for me that's it. When I finished those books I couldn't think of anymore audiobooks to torrent.
Any of you guys have any awesome books? Fuck Steven king, his books bore me to death. Takes like 4 fucking pages just to discribe a room. What the hell lol

Maybe I should look for them.
I don't think it's too difficult to find torrents of, but I'd be happy to zip up the first 4 books and upload them somewhere if you can't torrent them and you're interested.

"Butcher's tales meld the wonder and fun of the Harry Potter series, but with an adult tone and attitude."
— The News-Star (Monroe, LA)
"An exciting debut novel... Wish I'd thought of this myself. Try it. You'll like it."
— Glen Cook, author of Faded Steel Heat
"A very promising start to a new series, not to mention an unusually well-crafted first novel."
— Locus
"A really enjoyable read... Jim Butcher strikes just the right narrative balance between wizard and wiseguy, mystic and mobster."
— Lynn Flewelling, author of Traitor's Moon
"Butcher successfully lends human dimensions to vampires and spirits through his vivid descriptions and colloquial dialogue."
— Publishers Weekly
"Exciting, well-plotted, complex, an excellent read and an amazingly good first novel."
— Chris Bunch, author of The Warrior King
"Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this new fantasy series."
— BookBrowser
..toher than that I'm not sure what to recommend because I'd like more audiobooks myself XD
Thank you for your time hehe
If you want action, read the Sigma Force novels by James Rollins. He combines aspects of history and science to make a story as good as any action movie.
"His Dark Materials", by Philip Pullman, is a good fantasy suggestion. They call it "contriversial", but I din't know what they're talking about.
As for your opinion about Steven King, I respect it, *flashes Steven King fan button* but I still recommend The Dark Tower series. You don't have to read them, but at least read the comic book version.
Love your artwork! :3
Guerra!, by Jason Webster.
Trust me, I'm a Junior Doctor, by Max Pemberton.
They're all pretty good reads. :D
For lighter stuff, Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" Series is fantastic fun, and will have you occupied for a while. You might also consider Stephen Lawhead's "Hood" which also has a sequel or two now, I believe.
For some deeper stuff, consider perhaps some of Shakespeare's later plays if you're unfamiliar with them. King Lear and the Tempest are great fun to read, but for something more comedic you could go with "All's Well that Ends Well" or "Measure for Measure"
If the Shakespearean doesn't fit for you, try a little bit of Paulo Cohelo's "The Alchemist" which is just amazing, or even Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth" which is also phenomenal.
Then again, I'm an English major so I could ramble about literature forever. Go ahead and note me if you'd like some more suggestions =)
Nostradamus Ate My Hamster by Robert Rankin
Anything by Terry Pratchett
Anything by Jasper Fford.
1. The Tale of The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.
An epic fantasy series so far containing 9 books and 2 miniature tangent books with the 10th being written, this series is a difficult read but rewards steadfast readers with some of the best storytelling printed words can provide. His cast of characters exceeds more than most authors will make in their lifetimes, with nations, ancient races, and the entire pantheon of gods going toe to toe as cataclysmic events unfold. My own personal favorite books of all time, Steven Erikson will keep you up all night reading when you reach the final chapters of each book. If you think Tolkien is the king of fantasy, then Erikson is a god.
The first book in the series is Gardens of the Moon, but from what you said you may not want to look into these as they are very difficult reads.
2. The Shannara series by Terry Brooks.
Set in a world similar to Tolkien, Terry Brooks tells engrossing stories revolved around chosen people with great destinies. It's been a while since I read the books so I apologize if I can't give a better summary, but this was my favorite series until I picked up the Malazan books.
I recommend starting with The Heritage of Shannara, which is a compilation of three of Brooks's best books.
3. H.P. Lovecraft (various books and titles)
One of the biggest names in author history, H.P. Lovecraft more or less gave birth to sci-fi horror and spawned iconic names such as C'thulu. Most of his work are short stories, but are some of the best short stories in existance.
The Necronomicon is a compilation of much of his work and I highly recommend it.
4. The Tears of Artamon trilogy by Sarah Ash
A dark fantasy series featuring Gavril, a young man whose royal blood comes with a terrible price. I don't want to give anythin away so I will only say that his series is definately worth the time to read.
The first book in the series is The Lord of Snow and Shadows
5. The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud
One of the few younger-audience-oriented books that proved to stand up to higher standards. This series is about Nathaniel, a young mage with much to prove, and Bartimaeus, a spunky djinni bound to Nathaniel. It takes place in a medieval style London where magic exists. The author does a masterful job of giving the characters unique and interesting personalities.
The first book in the series is The Amulet of Samarkand
6. Lord of the Clans by Christie Golden
A book dealing withe lore behind Blizzard's famous Warcraft series. Lord of the Clans is a biography of the orc hero Thrall, who was raised as a slave and gladiator by a greedy human. Even if you aren't into Warcraft, this short 278 page book is an incredibly engrossing read. The other Warcraft books were good as well, but this one was my favorite.
Many people seem to like that Twilight series.. lol
There was an old series of books I read ages ago that I liked... it was a trilogy called the Wind on Fire by William Nicholson
uh, maybe A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket? Its quite entertaining and dark at times, even if it follows a basic structure each book.
oh, and listen to Prey by Micheal Critchton. that book is the BOMB *u*
"After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own.Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker."
I believe it's available in paperback, hardback, and audio forms.
They are 4 books (and there will be more) that told you an amazing and large story about kings, knight, magic... it's a really well done universe with lovely characters.
The name of the 4 books are:
A game of thrones
A clash of kings
A storm of swords
A feast for crows
(by George R. R. Martin)
However, if you preffer a book more like Harry Potter , I recomend you "Northern lights", by Philip Pullman
It is known as "The Golden Compass" in America.
It's a phantastic world but quite similar to us world. There are a lot of animal transformations too ;)
There is a film made in 2007 about the book, but I preffer the book (In the film all happens too quickly > <)
The history has second (The Subtle Knife) and third part (The Amber Spyglass), but I think Northern lights is the best.
I hope I had help you and you enjoy those histories.
Oh, and I love your pictures, I think I had never told you before.
The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. Original radio series for preference. Inventive, funny, fast paced.
I recommend this site for recommendations for what next
Some other good books are the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson if you like that more semi/fantasy stuff since the plot is about how these kids were scientifically grafted with avian DNA. and there's four of those. Along Came a Spider, a murder mystery by James Patterson is also a decent book
Lord of the Rings is always a definite good go, they're alot more detailed than the movies and have more backstory for each character
Same thing goes with the Star Wars book series, considering like Lord of the Rings, they were written before the movies came out.
Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr are decent if you're into medieval fantasy, while they're more centered for a younger audience you shouldn't have too much trouble keeping up as it's an easy read, and hell I like it.
Twilight = Hell no. Never. Not in a million years.
Under the Dome is another really good stephen king book I've heard, but I haven't read it yet, along with stuff like.. like I said, Desperation, Cell, The Shining, Hearts of Atlantis.... what else is there? I'm not sure, but those are all decent books, why not just go to a book store or a library and try to see if you can find something yourself? afterall we all have different opinions, but as you want anyone's opinion, my stand is this:
Before anything, try looking up a Stephen King book, Cell is a good one for starting off since it's got an interesting plot, but the Maximum Ride series is good as well if you like action and science fiction. Good luck finding books!
Haters gonna hate but it was an awesome awesome series<3 Lots of underlying man love too XD
