I'm reading Mo Dowd's "Are Men Necessary?" and "The Known World".

Please tell me this is a joke. How can anyone read that man-hating lesbian's drivel?

As evidenced by my last post, I'm reading:

"The Compass of Zen" by Seung Sahn.

Oh yeah, just in case I forget. Let me recommend A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Best fantasy series I've ever read.

To those who are reading history books: Why are you doing so?

Yeah guys, there's a history channel now.

Rep.

I'm always looking for tips on good fantasy series. Thanks.

I've been thinking about invading Russia, and someone told me that if I didn't understand history, I was doomed to repeat it.

I'm just about to finish "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". I like David Eggers' writing a lot.

My guess would be they like history.

It's also possible that they're reincarnated, and they're reading about their hometowns and old friends.

It's not the same. :shake:

Especially lately. Seems like everytime I turn it on, one of those friggin "Modern Marvels" shows is on. I really don't give a shit about the history of the dump truck.

Try Gene Wolfe's "Book of the New Sun". One of my all time favorites-
Shadow & Claw
Sword & Citadel
Urth of the New Sun.

The Long Sun and Short Sun series that follow are also fantastic.

Be aware it's some of the most subtle and cryptic fiction I've read since Joyce. A real challenge, but well worth it IMO.
