I don't know any of that books, sorry. But I voted 'cause I'm a good alien! :)

I read Wizard's First Rule and I wasn't crazy about it. I found it painfully cliche. The tv show is slightly better, thanks to Kahlan (but that's not saying much). Haven't read the other two, so I can't comment on them.

Yeah I agree, I found the entire story derivative (which is saying something given the genre), badly written, boring, and even irritating. I tried reading it back in high school when I was still devouring D&D tie-in fiction so bear that in mind.
Not to say there's anything wrong with gaming fiction, I still read it from time to time.

Thanks for reminding me about 'Pandora's Star', been on my towering "to read" list for far too long.

Read American Gods if you haven't already, it's pretty cool! (Not as good as some people say, but pretty solid)

More like different story in the same shared universe. It's a good read though!

i wouldnt call it a sequel. its a more a story on its own only thing in relation to American gods is well Anansi (and of course it plays in the same universe). but i admit im not entirely sure about that has been some years since i read it

Terry Goodkind's books are terrible, so anything that isn't those. I voted Anansi Boys, personally.

I liked Anansi Boys better than American Gods. I had a lot of humor in it and seemed more light-hearted and fun.
Wizard's First Rule, and the entire series, is pretty dark. I read the first 5 books and gave up after that. It seems like in every book some woman was getting raped or the main character chick was about to get raped and rescued at the last minute. I think the author has a rape fetish. Also there's detailed torture, which I didn't mind but some people might. No blood and guts, the torture is caused by a magic rod that causes pain whereever it touches skin.

I'm not familiar with any of those books, so I voted for none of them.
I do highly recommend the Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert (and, to some extent, the Extended Dune by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson). If you are interested in philosophical academic literature, I can also recommend some good works.

You should read: "Veldt" by Bradbury, awesome story and it's not that big :P

I've voted "Anansi Boys", I like me some Gaiman. Just finished his "the ocean at the end of the lane", incidentally.
To recommend one of my favorites, you could have a look at Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" - if you don't mind extensive footnotes and haven't read it already that is.

Have you read Orcs: First Blood ? Give it a look, it's one of my favorite books :) .

I only know 'Anansi Boys' but that one WAS good so I voted that :)
