I wish more people who actually read books would post in the top 10 authors thread. Most of the people posting haven't really read much at all

Glen Cook is probably the only author I adore that people probably haven't heard of. Everyone else is probably already in that list, and for good reason.

So my mother says

^_^

But often I think people just get pissed because I refuse to respect their garbage-based opinion. Itsamuth does that all the time, ranting about how I don't believe his opinion over academic studies

Girls are never right. It's a fundamental truth!

I just took a look at that thread. Can I marry Kasierith?

Well no I deserved them. But I'm sorry, most of the people on the rogue forum need to be told they're fucking retarded.

If by "the rogue forum" you mean "the WoW forum".

His Garrett P.I. series is seriously one of my favorite series ever. EVAR.

I actually haven't read many in that series :-/

I keep meaning to but then I find one of his one-off sci fi books sitting alone and forgotten on a shelf in the bookstore, and I. MUST. SAVE IT!

I think she's already taken, isn't she? Besides, she's in the US right now! We'll never let her leave!

Ive not read any of Cook's sci-fi, but I've read his Black Company, Garret P.I., and Instrumentalities stuff.

Oh. Like who ever goes into that forum =/

[obdigore]

I'm pretty sure Kasierith is actually a guy. Since we all know girls are stupid. /Cue Laize!

Probably. But the rogue forums (even here) always have a special talent for making me cry. When I feel like finding proof that eugenics is good, rogue forums will be my very first link.

Fine, we'll just have an online affair in which we read books all day every day

I need to find new authors and read more books. MORE BOOKS. Sucks dick being poor and not being able to buy books, the local library has like 20 books in English. Also people need to stop buying me half-complete series, HOW DO I GET THE OTHER FUCKING HALF?!?! ITS TORTURE YOU FUCKERS!

[PizzaSHARK]

I love the Instrumentalities series, it's fun seeing a reinvented medieval Europe.

His sci fi is pretty good. Start with the Starfishers series; the first book is a bit byzantine like most of his stuff, but it really hits its stride in the second book and I couldn't put the third book down. Then pick up Passage at Arms, which is probably the best sci fi book I've ever read and is tangentially related to the Starfishers series.

The Dragon Never Sleeps is another good space opera book. I don't think it has anything to do with his other sci fi, though, it's a stand-alone.

Darkwar is probably his best book. The sheer scope of the plot is crazy.

Didn't they teach you to share when you were in school?

Tell me quickly what's the story, who saw what, and why, and where?
Let him give a full description, let him answer to Javert!

In this nest of whores and vipers, let one speak who saw it all!
Who laid hands on this good man here? What's the substance of this brawl?

I'm going to end up having Les Miserables memorized just by being around you!

Pfft you're just jelly :3

Quiet, you

Thanks for the tip. I really need a new fantasy series to start. Well first I need a job to provide the money to buy the books. But soon. :3

They don't pay you for modding this place? /retracts mod app he never actually submitted.

Ain't that the truth?

If you're new to Glen Cook, you really should start with his Black Company series. I don't know if it's his best, but it's his most balanced and it's a complete series unlike the Instrumentalities (which I'd recommend, except it's ongoing.)

Paid?! XD

I'm still waiting on the cookies you're supposed to get when you make a successful app!

hes still writing Black Company books following... well if you've gotten to the glittering plains you know what I'm talking about.

Garret P.I. isn't finished either.

I like the Ilium/Olympos duology. Anyone else read that? So choke filled with references, I love it

Must have been in one of the grades I skipped. Like sex-ed.

Is that... Dan Simmons? I much prefer his Hyperion stuff.
