Whoot! I just found out that a lot of sagas and series have been expanded upon while I wasn't paying attention. Here's what's been piling up (= want to read) :
Robin Hobb (Farseer Trilogy, Liveship Traders):
-
Tawny Man Trilogy
-
Rain Wilds Trilogy
Raymond Feist (
Riftwar Cycle)
- Conclave of Shadows
- Darkwar Saga
- The Demonwar saga
- The Chaoswar Saga
Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth)
-
The Sword of Truth #6 - #11
Star Trek novels
- read almost every book about 15 years ago (only TOS and TNG back then), now I'm sort of lagging behind by a couple hundred books
Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game universe)
-
Ender's Exile
I also want to read:
- Modesitts
Saga of Recluce (already finished the first two volumes)
- Brandon Sanderson's works (
The Way of Kings; Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians), as he's become one of my favorite authors
- Iain M. Banks' The Culture saga (
Consider Phlebas) and
- Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series (
Red Mars) after recommendations in this thread
- Frank Herbert's WorShip saga (
Into the Void), because I loved his Dune books
- H.P. Lovecraft's stories
- Barry Hughart's
Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox book 2 and 3, as I like the classic Chinese culture and enjoyed The Bridge of Birds a lot
Just need to hammer this into myself: "Only one book at a time."
Going to start with Red Mars. I'm finishing up an Enterprise novel — those books are rather short compared to the huge fantasy sagas I'm used to, so it shouldn't take too long.
