If you're going to read fantasy you may as well pick up anything by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Dunsany or Tolkien

Barnes and Noble's Don Quixote is the best Don Quixote edition, but not a lot of people know that. It comes with Doré's illustrations.

Also, with Tolkien I'd reccomend you begin with Farmer Giles of Ham rather than anything on Middle-Earth. If you must go Middle-Earth pick Children of Hurin or The Hobbit, on that order of preference, with Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion dead last

I read the Nght Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks and it was fantasy but it had a lot of mature situations and brutal shit going on, what are some good books that arent hobbit or lord of the rings from Tolkien?

>>8609352
I'm going to stick to my tolkien meme and tell you to read children of hurin if you want dark fantasy. Reading Tolkien is kind of important to understand modern fantasy. Children of Hurin is deliberately a incredibly straight tragedy in the classical sense

You could also try most things by Wolfe, who is also one of the only fantasy authors /lit/ doesn't shit upon, but in that case you should also read Tolkien at some point because he was one of Wolfe's major influences

Thanks for help. Im making a list of books to check out. Got any recommendations on weird espianoge type novels? Like metal gear solid meets tom clancy?

>>8609289
is this really what this board has become?
we have descended into madness

>>8609390
Can't help with that, sorry. You could try making a goodreads account

>>8609400
Eh?. sometimes you just want a Big Mac

also op try his Stormlight series

Don't read Mistborn. It's basically a video game novelization.

He wants a mix of Metal Gear and Tom fucking Clancy. He literally wants to read a video game.

>>8609289
Naked Lunch

Don't get Mistborn, get the first two Stormlight books then read his backlog if you like those. Pick up that Conan collection if they have it. Other suggestions are The Walking Drum by Loius L'amour, Alamut by Vladamir Bartol, and the Black Company books by Glen Cook.
