Damn it, looking for new books to read is such a pain in the ass. None of the last 15 books ive read have lived up to expectation.

Hell yeah... that's a killer book. Definitely requires a few reads and some contemplation, though.

No, I have not, but some of them sound quite interesting. I have read many interesting discussions on minutiae of the Book of the New Sun and his other works at: http://www.urth.net/

Wow this thread has certainly struck a nerve, I know I love reading and rarely have anyone to share with, guess I'm not alone in that!

bringing this post back, cause i missed it! anyways- I have read The Wheel of time about 8 times now, the last 2 books like 5 or 6 times. I know thats crazy, but i love RJ. Another really really good author is George r.r. Martin, look him up, i am really into it right now.
