translucentfecesI'm reading the Name of the Wind series again because eventually I'll be reading the second book when the release of the third is announced.
I'm planning to restart the Silmarillion in earnest this weekend. The introduction is really beautiful so I always lose steam after reading it.
(Seriously anyone who hasn't read Name of the Wind but is looking for a good book should really consider this one)
Name of the wind series was so fucking good. Only thing I'm sad about is that there's only two books and the third is a long way off. Have you read any Brandon Sanderson? I recently read his stormlight archive series. Prolly one of the best fantasy series i've read in my life. Right now I'm reading Sanderson's mistborn series as well. What is cool is that he connects a lot of his books in a universe called the cosmere. So there will be references and connections across his series that are supposed to eventually all come together.
For anybody looking for good high fantasy books I've found tons from the r/fantasy top lists. also reading Gentleman Bastards by Scott Lynch, not sure what i think about it yet.
One more book I wanted to mention is the three body trilogy by Cixin Liu, craziest sci fi books i've ever read. Take an alien invasion to a hyper realistic level. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/907ty2/the_rfantasy_2018_top_novels_poll_results/
