I love the tv series.
I watched the first season before I started reading the book and it hasn't made the book harder to read. Its fun to see what they changed between them.

Wheel of Time books are awful :<

I highly highly recommend Patrick Rothfuss' book The Name of the Wind and its sequel

also, ink, I think you would really like the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson

oh and Altered Carbon (and sequels) by Richard Morgan is excellent for any sci fi fans  :old:
 
atm i am reading old Ed McBain cop stories :rofl

Agreed.  First one was ok, but after that Jordan was just pumping out uninspired crap as fast as he and his publisher could manage it.

Most of my friends don't read and you would be surprised at how many people don't.

There was a post like this a little while ago.  So many good books to read.
