So Christmas has come early, through fate/cosmic alignment/blackmail i received a Kindle today.
(this is what happens when your to too lazy to get the mail yourself, Mother....
What i need from you, fellow Escapists, are recommendations for some awesome books that i can lose myself in. Now, I'm kind of a purist, and i only read Fantasy / Sci-Fi.
I am a big reader, so i would prefer series....the longer the better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Some things i have read and enjoyed include:
The Lord Of The Rings
The Wheel of Time
A Song Of Ice And Fire
Magician (Ive read a few others set in that world also)
The Elenium & The Tamuli
An example of what i don't like - Harry Potter.
If i wanted to read about a Dark Lord whose name is not spoken (born with the blood of those he persecutes), culling those of impure blood with his army of black-clad sociopaths, i will read the journal my grandfather kept whilst fighting in WW2. At least his version wont contain so much teenage angst.
And people think those books are original (sigh)
Oh and Dumbledore is clearly Winston Churchill (The only one he ever feared, anyone?). Except less awesome. And queer
But jokes aside, what is your favorite series, and why? A short description of your recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you, and Happy Holidays!
