discussion Book or Novel Recommendations and Identification

[kuro_katana]

Comics, Light Novels, Manhwas/Manhua/Manga
The most annoying part about certain comics is having to fix the grammar yourself while reading because the text panes dont make any damn sense.
So yeah, to answer your question- no

Used to read a lot when I was younger thinking about getting back into it.

It's about two or three books a year. I like SciFi but It's hard to start books with 800 pages or more.
When it comes to written erotica, a few dozens

 

[falafal]

My kindle last year said I read over 140. That doesn't count another app I use and a few paperbacks.

 

[lorkdubo]

currently reading the path of kings, by brandon sanderson. loving it!

Sanderson is great. I love The Reckoners and Mistborn series in particular.

Seems like people here have been doing a lot of fapping. But, here's the question. How's your reading going?

Besides the very underwhelming story lines of most porn novels, has anyone been reading anything good?

I, myself, decided to finally start the Mistborn trilogy. I've gotta say, I've been quite enjoying it.

 

[Hynegard]

Mistborn, 100%. At least the first 3 books.

My reading is going fine thanks to Amazon Prime and getting access to thousands of books with a subscription.

I also have two closets of old paper books I sometimes re-read at will as well.

 

[stangnomez]

Quantum Thief. It's interesting, and I think I understand what most of the words mean.

 

[Republican Bear]

For a recommendation I suggest The Runelords a series of fantasy novels by author David Farland.

Or Mission Earth a ten-volume science fiction novel series by L. Ron Hubbard.

 

[bulliedhealer]

While I do read even today, I am not reading anything currently that I would really recommend. Instead here are a few of my favorite series.

Symphony of Ages series - by Elizabeth Haydon
Guardians of the Flame series - by Joel Rosenberg
John Carter of Mars series (also known as The Mars Series) - by Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Hollows series - by Kim Harrison
The Dark Tower series - by Stephen King (forgot to add this one initially)

Some honorable mentions:

Wizard in Rhyme series - by Christopher Stasheff (this is very heavily christian themed)
Shanarra Series - by Terry Brooks (this is a big series, it started in 1977 and most recent book was in 2020 or so)
Magic Kingdom of Landover - by Terry Brooks


A weeb recommendation based on my obsession with isekai settings:

Overlord - by Kugane Murayama (pretty much the only light novels I've read more than once)
Skeleton Knight in Another World - by Ennki Hakari (short, but good!)

I love the dune saga, I have read till the 4th book and must say it holds it reputation well , currently have kept it on hold. Reading some fantasy light novels these days.

 

[Republican Bear]

Aye the Dune sage is a good choice but it got confusing and to different after Herbert died and his son took over writing.

You just have to rearrange the order of releases to understand were each book fits in the grand tapestry.

 

[fairway]

Reading The Brightest Shadow series, it's pretty good. Fun fact, the author (under another pseudonym) also creates some really good porn games (including The Last Sovereign and Crimson Gray).

 

[Zalyftatyf]

I'm currently reading "The Book of the New Sun" series by Gene Wolfe. It takes a bit of getting used to but I would definitely recommend it to any science fiction fan. Although it's certainly nothing new.

[Loliholic]

I dont count, but its mostly more then one per week.
Since money is limited and i despise e-books i rarely read anything new. Our collection is mostly based on specialist books, scifi, fantasy, mystery and horror. The biggest part are Star Trek and celia s. friedman.

 

[Cougar18]

High fantasy

 

[LostWaffle]

Mistborn, 100%. At least the first 3 books.

I haven't read all of the series that comes after it yet, but it is pretty interesting how all the different types of magic have adjusted to technological advancements

Do you know where to read those for free?

Not technically free, but if you have KindleUnlimited, they're free to download. They also have a ton of other stuff on there, both harem and incest based, although the family stuff is often "step."
