Looking for a new book to read

[RollWave]

Any good books I should read? Not necessarily limited to the Sci-Fi Fantasy genre. I'm for anything thats a gripping tale. I want something that sucks me in!

EDIT: I've read the Harry Potterbooks and all the George R R Martin books out rght now

Glen Cook - Black Company series - just plain fun
Gene Wolfe - Book of the New Sun series - a worthy slog

 

[Last Rezort]

Robert Jordan- Wheel of time series

Most awsomest of all the sci-fi books evar made WOOT!

 

[BillyBobJoel71]

harry pothead and the half blood prince

 

[Yossarian]

Stephen King's Dark Tower series. That should take you the rest of the summer at least.

 

[Barfo]

A Storm Of Swords, duh 😛

 

[Maximin]

See my sig. Not sci-fi though.

 

[Plop]

not sci-fi but a great read Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

 

[DaveSimmons]

[RollWave]

Interesting. I'll look into these during work today if they dont have me too busy! 😀

Have you read Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson? If not, give that a try. If you like it, you can start on the Baroque Cycle. I've only read the first of the 3 books in that series, Quicksilver, but so far it's a great read.
