Quickquickquick recommend a good sci-fi or fantasy book

Go!

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Ender's Game is an awesome book, but I've already read it. :sad:  As well as the two sequels (Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide) that were worth reading...

I wouldn't really call it fantasy, definitely not sci fi, but its a helluva good read if you haven't picked it up already.

american gods by neil gaiman. If you like clive barkers works you should like gaiman's

hard to do better than the chronicles of amber (the amber series)
I do hope you've read The Lord of the Rings, or the Hobbit\
The original Dragonlance books were pretty good too.
elric is on the dark side

oh yes..The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson READ IT

You're like the only other person I know who's read the Amber series, which is odd because they're so so good

really?  as soon as I read them, I passed them around to all my friends...

but yeah, i do think of them as the classics of the genre...not tolkien or such, but highly original, solid plotting, and really incredible characters.

Corwin or Random?  Oberon or the Lords of Chaos:cool:

Startide Rising

Dune was mentioned upthread, it's worth re-reading every few years.

Different Corwin. Instead of playing with snakes, he stabs people in the face

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. Its Sci-fi by far, but you may remember parts of it from your history classes.

Great book, have you read the Anansi Boys?  I picked it up the other day.  yet to read it though.

A good Sci-Fi author Is Raymond E Feist pre 95 circa, and then his Serpent War series is a good series.

It gets pretty cerebral at times, when you the characters go to Navigate the Hall Of Worlds. This largely uncharted Hall in the cosmos with doors adorning both side leading to different worlds, realities and time signatures.

i really enjoy them :shrug:
