The Gathering Storm – Recommended Read
Books are one of my favorite hobbies and pass times. This is just a small sample of what I’ve been reading. Sci Fi Fantasy is some of the best stuff out there…if you know what authors to pick up and which ones not to.
The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. Eleven books in the series. Book one is Wizards First Rule.
Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. The trilogy can be found bound together in one volume.
Star Wars Legacy of the Force by Aaron Allston, Karen Traviss, and Troy Denning. The series is nine books. Book one is Betrayal.
Robert Jordan is my favorite writer. I enjoy quite a few but he is hands down the BEST. He makes Tolkien look like second string. No lie. Robert Jordan has passed away and was unable to finish his series The Wheel of Time. At the time he had been working on the last book: A Memory of Light. Unable to finish the novel, his wife Harriet has hired Brandon Sanderson to complete it. And wow this guy is awesome. Every fan of Jordan was speculative, and we all had a right. I met Robert Jordan in Huntington Long Island at the Book Revue. The man was astounding. But Sanderson is a good stand in. I’m almost done with his first book of the Mistborn. And it’s great. Any how,the novel was deemed TOO BIG. And thus had to be broken down into three more books. AMAZING!!!!!! The first book of Memory of Light will hit book stores on November 3rd 2009.
