That is completely false. Alright it's been about eight years since I read the book but if memory serves (which usually doesn't) there are only about 2 or 3 occasions where he goes into technical detail...either of which if you skip, wont hinder your enjoyment of the novel. They are there as...

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is one of my recent favorites.

As Chopper said, Karsa seems to be an anomaly even within his brutal race. Yeah that makes sense, there are subtle allusions to that fact throughout the book and lets not forget, Iron Bars had help from a Tarthenal (Ublala Pung?), who are half-blood Toblakai.

You might want to check out Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan[Wikipedia.org]. Post-Apocalyptic certainly though not the zombie or nuclear variety, this one's more horrific than either of those scenarios...:)

All great authors, though I would definitely go with Erikson and Bakker first (best two epic fantasy on your list IMHO). Bakker's Prince of Nothing series is phenomenal, if you have read and enjoyed Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy then Bakker is definitely a must. I thought both series very...

Oops. My bad, part of the reason it's such a great novel is the collaboration between the two. :)

Very sad news. His books were among the first fantasy I read.

Try these: King Rat by China Mieville Un Lun Dun Good Omens by Neil Gaiman Anansi Boys Stardust The Night Watch Trilogy by Sergei Lukyanenko Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke The Tales of Alvin Maker by Orson Scott Card The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud The Dark Tower...

I would be glade to, as soon as I'm finished.:)

Music to my ears.:) It's one of my all time favourite Cyberpunk/SF novels. The "problem" with Cryptonomicon I think is that you have be somewhat mathematically inclined and tech savvy to fully enjoyed it IMHO. If you read it only for the story and characters alone (which is usually the case for...

Chasm City is one of my favorite SF novels. I have Galactic North (hardcover) on my shelf, thinking of reading it sometime soon. BTW great review.

Just started The Etched City by K. J. Bishop.

I'm reading Vinland Saga by Makoto Yukimura.

Dune, Frank Herbert Foundation, Isaac Asimov Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson Use of Weapons, Iain M. Banks

High Magic content you say? Then Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen certainly takes the cake. Personally I've not encountered anything ( be it books, movies/TV series, graphic novels) that matches the aforementioned in this particular department.

Pray tell us, how you came up with that brilliant observation?

The Lord of the Rings (1954), JRR Tolkien A Song of Ice and Fire (1996), George RR Martin A Tale of Malazan Book of the Fallen (1999), Steven Erikson

Thanks for the link Werthead. The guy is not far off the mark from how I visualized Tyrion.

Thanks for the heads-up.:)

Thanks for the heads-up.:) The only Ennis I read up until now was Preacher and it near blew me away! I have almost all Hellblazer TPBs including all of Ennis' work. Looking forward to reading them when I'm done with Punisher.
