Suggest some fiction authors

[NiKeFiDO]

tom clancy, yo

 

[jorak]

Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time

Hoping Knife of Dreams doesn't disappoint like the last few.


Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game

One of the best books ever. Now if they'd just get the movie going.


Lois McMaster Bujold - Verkosigan Saga

Good series

Mixing up fantasy and sci fi, but that's been happening lately.

Also Katherine Kerr's Westlands series and Anne Mccaffrey's Pern series.

 

[mundane]

Give Vernor Vinge a shot.

Len Deighton seconded.

Also, Arthur Hailey.

My ADHD having, gen-x'er raised on video games and internet access @ss hasn't finished a book in years. I read all the time, but it probably ATOT, magazines, quest logs or reference manuals.

I can't read for long. I fall asleep.

I'm surpised nobody has said Orson Scott Card yet.

Me too, but he's VERY overrated anyway.

Here are a few I like:

Peter F. Hamilton
Greg Bear
Vernor Vinge
Daniel Keyes Moran
Dan Simmons
Jack L. Chalker
Glen Cook (check out The Dragon Never Sleeps)

Tolkien FTW

George RR Martin
Robin Hobb

D'oh, I forgot Zelazny.

big book of amber pwns you.

I actually have it as two hardcover books. A library near my house was having a huge book sale, and I think I paid a quarter for each volume. These ones have these collector-card type of things with Vallejo art on the inside cover.
I've lost my copy of Jack of Shadows, though.
