"It" was good. Loved it and still hate clowns because of it.

Recently I really enjoyed a series by Joe Abercrombie call "The First Law". I guess I'd describe it as gritty fantasy with excellent battle descriptions.

Now I'm reading "War God" by Graham Hancock. It's Historical Fiction about the Spanish conquest of Mexico. If you watch the Joe Rogan Podcast with Graham on he describes the book and the history with some nice detail.

The Death Gate Cycle was pretty good. 7 books in all, iirc.

I can second Robin Hobb's books - have actually just finished rereading the first three trilogies and are top drawer. Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen is decent - first half of the series is by far the best but defo worth reading for that. Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy and the other books set in that world are awesome. For horror/fantasy with a contempory setting Neil Gaimen's American Gods and Sergie Lukyavenko's Night Watch series is also good. Terry Pratchett has a lot of good satirical fantasy as well.

For some sci-fi in addition to what's been mentioned Iain M Banks has some good stuff. For something contemporary thats a bit different Irvine Welsh's books are awesome if you can get your head around the Scottish dialects he writes his characters in (he wrote trainspotting if you've seen the movie.
