i would say with enthusiasm to read every two-bit fantasy novel you can find. also, any insanely popular book/series is usually a good bet...even if you don't like it, you can gripe with other people who read it and hated it....anne rice books, life of pi, da vinci code are a good cross-section of those kinds of books....'least i think so.
american gods was the only book i've read more than once
for the fantasy:
george rr martin books rule
wheel of time rules
forgotten realms/dragonlance/greyhawk/even *cough* eberron are worth a look
anne mccaffrey (sp?) pern books are ok
conan books
LOTR of course
year's best collections are sometimes worth a look for a couple of their shorties.
whoops that's what i get for not reading the last post... |
