My friends, you are more suited to the challenge set before you than any other, excepting possibly my Facebook friends, who have the advantage of seeing this exact message about thirty minutes before you as well as the undeniable joy of knowing me personally.


YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE.


(This is why we keep recommendations threads announced, dearest moderators)

I've read MALAZAN, aSoIaF, Black Company, and BOOK OF THE NEW SUN. I haven't read Sanderson's stuff, Williams' stuff, or Bakker's stuff. I'm looking for anything interesting.

I invite you to recommend things beyond fantasy, though I would ask that you keep them to fiction in English.
