Green Eggs and Ham

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

It's part 1 of 4 of a series

Been reading through The Sprawl trilogy recently. That is,
Neuromancer,
Count Zero,
and now I'm on Mona Lisa Overdrive.

Neuromancer is the best one so far.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

Djuna Barnes, Nightwood
Ernest Hemingway, In Our Times
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying
Virginia Woolf, To The Lighthouse

Fancies and Goodnights, by John Collier
Gormenghast Trilogy, by Mervyn Peake
Trainspotting, by Irvine Welsh
any text on music theory, e.g. The Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis, by Clendinning and Edwards
Counterpoint in the Style of J. S. Bach, by Thomas Benjamin (not for beginners)

This is going to get bashed... Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is probably my favorite.

Witness the eternal cry of the brainlet.

ah yes, not reading about wizards and hydras makes you a brainlet. ps reading your fictions doesnt make you smarter

The count of montecristo. Not sure if it's the same in English. But Alejandro Dumas is the author

It does.

layer cake

It's not the fiction that makes us smart, you're right on that point...

But what's this about wizards and hydras ? You dislike Harry Potter and Hercules ? That's fine... Pick up another fucking book

He's hit or miss for me, but Neverwhere is by far my favorite. American Gods I didn't like as much, but came to appreciate after a bit. Fun shit.

Good Omens is amazing.

Terry Pratchett is my favorite author of all time with the Discworld Series. It's not one where you can read a book and be into it; you have to dive in.

Read in whatever order, but:
If you are going to read no matter what, read The colour of magic and the light fantastic first (Rincewind series), sets up all of discworld, but they are a really rough read since they are his first books.

Small Gods is by far my favorite standalone.
The Death Series (Mort to start, Reaper Man, my favorite book) is my favorite, although most people love the guards series (Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, etc).

Favorite books? 100 Years of Solitude and East of Eden. If you haven't been tainted by having to read them in high school/college, they are an absolute wonderful treat. 100 years of solitude just hits that sweet spot of magical realism and the last 50 pages just ooze magic and amazingness. Favorite last lines of any book.

East of Eden is, imo, the soul of the west in a book. The writing just hits this matter-of-fact pang in my chest, and the revelations are so good.

The Expanse series has been really fun so far.

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) was amazing. Joe Hill has a great knack for writing like his dad, but can *actually end a novel really damn well*.

Just finished Fountainhead today. I liked the fact that there was only like one monologue throughout the whole book and at a really important time. I liked A.S. better, though.

Shrugged....

Dresden Files are a pretty fun read.

Julian Barnes, Sense of an Ending.

>hurr durr cumpooter
