Brandon Sanderson's own work outside of the Wheel of Time ending is really good. Esp if you enjoyed the worldbuilding and sort of twist the Dark Tower had i highly recommend The Mistborn books. His ongoing Way of Kings series is good too but it isn't complete so I'm not certain how it'll turn out yet.

Swan Song, by Robert McCammon. Similar to the Stand, post apocalyptic war of people drawn to an evil, supernatural Flagg like guy, and forces of good drawn to the side of a girl with supernatural powers who is the only hope to restore life on earth. Although the plot is very similar to the Stand, I think it is actually better.

>>728252476
the mistborn books were alright but about halfway through book 2 I realized that sanderson is mormon and the books are about "when i become a God in the afterlife, what if I make a planet and fuck it up?" and that kind of killed it for me. I still finished the series but i stopped enjoying it as much after that because I could pretty much predict what was going to happen from then on.

theyre great except for having a story arc that is utterly reliant on the characters making decisions that no person would ever make. I love sci fi and fantasy, but i hate it when a character makes a decision that the character you know would never make, is made, simply for continuity. at least make the effort for your characters to remain constant.

>>728257772
As far as black actors go, they picked one who can surely play a character like Roland, but still, he looks nothing like him. That's important, and it's clear they just threw that out the window. Even more so, it fucks up the story with Susannah thanks to the race relations between them. So who the fuck knows what is going to happen.

Yeah it is important. Elba is good. But Roland is white-this is like getting a white guy to play Shaft or something...Asshole producers and their agendas. What's going to happen is a lot of virtue signaling in the media to generate sales, ie., 'watch this and you're not a racist', the opposite of the 'gits' whitewashing bs, and it will probably suck, but if anyone says it sucks, the racist card gets played...

I posted the defense, wasn't me faggo

Hi, I prefer to read nonfiction, but currently with all this hype about the new It movie I'm reading the book (Stephen King, It: A novel) I really like it! I'd read Mr Mercedes which was like watching a movie one Sunday in the TV, I would say 3 out of 5. But It is so far 5/5. I've read half the book. Also in the school I was forced to read Martian Chronicles (I think that's the original title) by Isaac Asimov I think. I didn't appreciate it so much at that time but I think I would enjoy it much more nowadays. It has some comic parts and some surrealistic things, very very creative for that time.

>>728259610

Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. 5 books so far and they are brilliant.

>>728259316
Poopy. ;D

>>728260485
The scope of the battle forming outside of Mereen in I think Dance was fucking getting hype. I can't wait to see that play out, but I guess Storm, the generic answer. It was great

>>728260536
I agree, except to add that I didn't mind the Misery adaptation.

I didn't read last "looking for god tier reading".
So on that note: The 48 Laws of Power is a must read.

>>728260686
this

>>728260222
I get that.

It came off to me much like The Matrix series: the first part was new, mysterious, full of wonder and discovery. Everything that followed could never reproduce those things.

Having read the Stand, you've already read Kings best. Dark tower 2, 3 and 4 are also fantastic though.

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Bradbury is rather great. Pretty much about learning to be happy with life regardless of dissatisfaction with age or societal position.

Also imho No Country For Old Men = McCarthy at his finest, followed immediately by Blood Meridian.

And though not quite as popular and at times difficult to read, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is a fucking masterpiece.

Final suggestion for now would be the Song of Ice and Fire series (George R. R. Martin). Although, being unfinished it is frustrating.

Fun Fact: In 1992 Isaac Asimov died of AIDS contracted from a blood transfusion during a 1983 bypass operation. This was hidden for years due to the stigma of the illness

I think he contracted it during a salami injection and the family is covering

MMM them dubs don't lie. Truth you speak. But I'm actually not that big a fan of the T.V. show for real though. but that part in particular will be great to see how they churn out.

One of my all time favorites. Funny as hell.

>>728261365
if it plays out at all like the show (which it kinda can't) it'll be weak. In the book Euron is showing up with a badass horn that controls dragons and Selmy is still alive, Tyrion is fighting with the second sons... the show already blew past any of that happening with blind retardation

>>728261560
fuck off.
most pretentious book for edgy teenagers i've ever read. and i've read a lot.

>>728246492
Dark tower is great up to and including 4, total shite after that.

>>728261560
Great,now I have to kill John Lennon.....
Thanks anon!

>>728261819
don't forget griff & young aegon targaryen and the whole back story of rhaegar. and the wolf dreams, and the fact that the starks are all wargs, and so on.
series isn't bad but it loses so much of the feeling...

>>728262030
Suck a dick, faggot.

>>728260988
Fucking asswipe with his supergypsy can go fuck himself. That shit is embarrassing yo.

>>728262283
Oh shit, my bad.

>>728261819
This is why I can't stand the show at points. Just clearing through great parts and replacing others.

>>728252936
Yeah I was so depressed the whole way through Streets of Laredo. Still an excellent book, even without Gus

>>728250530
To call enders game shit would be a bit far. Niw if you wanna call the movie shit then by all means go for it

>>728262334
dude it's fine. you had to read some books for school and this was the first one that had you thinking "wait, it sounds kind of cool if i reference this book sometimes. makes me look really literate".
but please don't pretend to be talking about literature with grown ups.

>>728262324

also Dorne is still in play because none of that muh Sandsnakes retardation happened

Frank Herbert is great, anything 'by' his son is garbage.

>>728262520
Yeah, but the author is WAY too homophobic for my taste as well. I think gays are annoying at times too but not THAT bad. I just like sucking cock sometimes.

>>728262633
Sadly enough you're right. I mean at least he Tried~?? ehh~?

>>728260988
yea, can't wait for doors of stone. still my favorite fantasy series, even though the fitz and the fool trilogy is a close second.

>>728262398
you seem to be unable to appreciate beautiful writing. you can criticize the books, but calling it embarrassing is simply unfounded.

>>728250530
dune is my favorite sci-fi,ender's game is a pretty good book. if you think ender's game is shit, you probably didn't finish it, the end is what makes it special.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That anon is in fucking point, this shit belongs in an anime harry potter hybrid fanfiction forum.

I'm sorry to break this to you, but you're dumb, you have horrible taste, and you may actually be clinically retarded if you enjoy Rothfuss' drivel and his "special snowflake lol jk this isnt a retcon hes just a bard embellishing his stories lol!" character.

>>728262529
I've actually read this three or four times over the years and I still enjoy it. But I'm sure it's also super cool to bash it and pretend you have a solid opinion on good literature.

>>728260846
yeah you're right i guess, but that actress just makes me wanna puke, i hate her face, so i'm biased against it.

Stop at book 5 bro.

There's Doctor Doom Robots that have literal lightsabers and quidditch bombs.

Book 3 was my favorite though.

Also, Dune's already been posted, so my second favorite Herbert book.

The Dharma Bums by Kerouac
The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway
The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky

Daemon by Daniel Suarez

>>728246201
I was reading the extended version of this years ago and for some reason stopped at like 900 pages in. By the time I felt like reading again I had lost my place and couldn't remember enough details to be able to enjoy reading the last few chapters.

>>728265042

Right. Its like 1200 fucking pages.Anything similar that's shorter?

Do yourself a favor OP and read this. Honestly the best book I've ever read, and helped form a lot of my religious views. Absolutely an amazing book.

It's pretty good, but forming spiritual beliefs might be taking it a bit far. from the same guy who wrote starship troopers which is pretty much diametrically opposed...

I firmly believe he is writing them both and they'll be released a few months apart

One of the best dark fantasy stories out there.
We know it as, The Witcher and it was only released in English in the last decade. The story is absolutely amazing.

I'll be honest with you, I haven't played the game series much. I tried all three and got bored with each, the last one being more interesting and modern but I just don't have time for long ass games anymore.

The novels blew me away though, I was expecting some half-assed game based novel and found out it was a book first.
