The Drizzt series - pretty sub-par writing*, but one of the coolest (and most emulated
) literary characters ever. Shit, I'm playing a Dark Elf Ranger on Oblivion right now. Then I'll start Neverwinter Nights where I'll play a *gasp* dark elf ranger.
*Way, WAY too many battle scenes. But eh. I've read most all the books, many times in fact.
I loved the last Dark Tower. Maybe my favorite book in the series. What an ending!
As for what I'm reading now...
1.
The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch. Man alive, what a great book. Metal Ken read it, but I actually read the sequel first. Epic fantasy meets the caper novel. Like LotR mixed with Ocean's Eleven.
2.
The Greek Passion, by Nikos Kazantzakis. Terrific book. A true classic, and a wonderful addition to my quest to become a high lit convert. Up next... Call It Sleep, by Henry Roth.
3.
Arnold: The Education of A Bodybuilder, by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Great story of this supremely motivated guy, and a neat guide to his bodybuilding system.
There's other shit too, but those are the main things currently. As always. I'm reading like 4 or 5 books on evolution, psychology, and economics. Plus comic books!
