    for fantasy i've read a lot of the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time Books. I'm currently reading Forge of Darkness which is pretty good. As far as sci fi i've read a lot of what my dad grew up on and enjoyed reading (douglas addams, asimov, frank herbert, orson scott card stuff like that I read doctor who books every once in a while...Shada was VERY good in my opinion but some of them are kinda iffy lol

    Sword of Truth - First is one of my all time fav but if you can't stop part way through a series not sure if I would recommend it as books 4 (and particularly 6) and on to the final are increasingly very preachy/repetitive.
    I like Richard and Kaklan. Zed is a great character.

    I don't read much new scifi or fantasy as it just seems bland to me but i'm big on the older stuff. I learned to read as a kid thanks to dad getting a kid friendly copy of War of the Worlds from the library (I actually found a copy of it on ebay). I love the 80s cold war post apocalyptic novels, modern fantasy like some of Mercedes Lackey's stuff, Laurel K Hamilton's stuff (thought it got to be all the same after a while). I big on old pulp and early scifi like the early Asimov and such. Also big on the ignored genre of cyberpunk.

    It's the only genre I like.
    Currently reading Blade Itself. Supposedly the next best thing to A Song of Ice and Fire.
    Can't wait!

    The Asylum Tales by Jocelyne Drake is very good. It is a twist on fantasy books. Present day with warlocks, witches, elves, and trolls.

    I loved Starship Troopers. (Nothing like the movie)

    I love all Heinlein, Card, and Clarke. Just read Metal World and enjoyed it. Fae Fever series was great. I am a major Dresden fan and am reading the most recent now. I enjoyed Harry Potter and Hunger Games. I was afraid to start reading GOT because I really enjoy the series and didn't want to compare, I may start reading them now and stop before the next season. I tend to "discover" different authors by walking through the aisles in the library and picking up books with the sci-fi sticker on the spine. I do this with fantasy and mystery as well. works for me.

    Am a great fan of Zelazny, PKD, Gibson, Clarke and Asimov. My first SFF books were the Foundation series and 2001. Of the more recent authors, huge fan of Gaiman, Neal Stephenson and Stross. Love reading up on anthologies from time to time(rewired, the slipstream anthology, wastelands, the infinity trilogy among others)

    Hit me up on mail and we can connect more.

    The last two scifi books I read where:
    The Forever War
    The Postman

    Both really good. Read the Lord of the Rings a bunch of times.
