Ya'll ever read 'Forgotten Realms' Drizzt book series? [Nerds only]

[Cheesypoof]

Must reads:

1. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
2. (ASoIF) Game of Thrones by George R R Martin

If you get done with these and like them I would recommend more. the 4 dark tower and Wheel of time books were good but... The two I listed above are 10X better.

This is an excellent suggestion and a fantastic book, but the series is a long way from finishing so I don't generally suggest it.

The Wheel of Time series I'm so conflicted on because while it is massive and an incredible universe, the Robert's writing is pretty frustrating especially for slower readers. I just think there are better options before tackling it.

The Death Gate Cycle.

all of the R.A. Salavatore books are worth reading.

The Forgotten Realms Dark Elf Trilogy is more than just Drizzt. One of the best things is that the author is not afraid to kill off main characters through out the story line. In the end everyone dies.

I'd continue on the drizzt line if you want to keep reading forgotten realms books.

Id also recommend the cycle of night series by Paul s. kemp if you're in the mood for something a little darker but still in the forgotten realms.

Avatar series is just ok but has good background for the rest of forgotten realms books

Recently asked my RL bro for a good introductory fantasy book series to read and he recommended the first 3 books of "Forgotten Realms". As I'm about to finish the 3rd book today, I was wondering if any of you nerds have some good recommendations next for me to read? Go on to the 4th book in the series or switch to something else? Let me hear it, poindexters.

Dragonlance.

The Name of the Wind is very good if you want a smartass'ier version of Harry Potter.

Then again Kvothe is a name almost as bad as Drizzt.

Stop naming your fantasy characters really dumb names, guys.

I started Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of the Kings" last night and I made it like 10 pages but it just seems so overly verbose. And the hero was turning the rooms upside down and melting faces with his shardsword, so the fight scenes were annoying me.

I'm going to keep giving it a shot but if it stays this way I'm going to chuck it (no pun intended). Keep giving me some ideas, might check out dragonlance or w/e.

Came here to mention this book, really great read just finished the second one last night.

That being said, it is a little long winded and boring if I'm being honest.

Here are some books more along the lines of RA salvator which if we are again being honest is more of a writer geared at teenagers than adults which makes them fun and easy reads.


Fantasy

The First Law: Right now this is at the top of my list for fantasy series. 3 books, a few different characters, adult writing and content without being over the top. You should stop what you are reading and pick these up. first one is "the blade itself"

Night Angel Series - Fun, reads almost like a comic book, really enjoyed.

Sci-Fi-

SnowCrash- Plain and simple one of the most iconic sci-fi/cyberpunk novels there is. I've read both this and neuromancer and I prefer SnowCrash though both are great.
Again, this book reads easy but is great.

Read these 7 books and come back to me.
