Yeah, I think it was Gunslinger. I don't know if it was just me, but I couldn't get into it.

The Drawing of the Three is like 10x better than first. Well worth it if you can grind through the Gunslinger. Sadly The Waste Lands was the peak for me, although it's not bad in the last books, just gets weirder.

And if you haven't read any Koontz before, he's sometimes hit or miss. Dragon Tears was good, like mentioned earlier. I also liked Phantoms, Watchers, Twilight Eyes, and Hideaway (don't watch any of the movies).

"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.

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.

I might read it if they just admit Mary Magdalene was Jesus' girlfriend and add the Gospel of Mary. That would be great, would read.

Lol this is what I got when I do a search of author's last name (Palahniuck) at Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Pissing-Wind-C...rds=Palahniuck

For a second, I thought you were trolling and then noticed the author's name is different on this book. Had to mention it because it was hilarious.
