Book suggestions needed

Watership Down

[xKoopa]

Name of the wind, heroes die, mistborn, steelheart are all first books in good series

Lies of locke lamora wasnt bad, but book 2 and 3 got boring for me. Cant think of any others atm but high fantasy is in a pretty shitty place with tons of bad authors besides a handful of them

E didnt see kingkiller chronicle in op

The Talisman by Stephen King sounds like it might be up your alley, it's a departure from his typical horror books and closer to a fantasy novel (but not really). One of my top 3 favorite books.

Hmm for something sword and sorcery like I would recommend the Elric Saga. Basically a drug addicted (keeps him alive) elf with a sword that drinks souls and shit. They are short books but a pretty decent little series.

The Farseer Trilogy is pretty decent. Its medieval but not all that high fantasy but basically centers around a character who is being apprenticed as a royal assassin. There is more going on but thats the basics.

If you want something different with a fantasy bent I would recommend the Dresden series of books the show the Dresden Files was based on. Modern setting but dude is a detective/magician wizard what have you.

If you want some non fantasy recommendations I would go cyberpunk with the Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson starting with Neuromancer or you could give Neal Stephensons Snow Crash a read.

Def. one of King's best but based off your past books, I'd still recommend The Dark Tower series. He wrote the series over a 30ish year period so each book has a slightly different feel (which I found was cool). King considers this series as his magnum opus.

He also thought lord of the flies was good. I liked the first book in dark tower series and kinda consider the rest a waste of time. I actually really enjoyed the ending to the series though.

To each their own. The Gunslinger was an awesome book though but I'm partial to the The Waste Lands. Blaine the Mono was an awesome character

it was just soooo long and drawn out lol

i hated the series by the time i got to ending and it was just like.. fuck thats it?

OP has read The Wheel of Time. He knows drawn out. Dark Tower compares nothing to that.

Sorry last book i read was Lord of the Flies back in 10th grade 17 years ago and all my wife reads is those what i like to call "girl porn" books. You know like Fabio books but with bikers or shit like that lol.
