And I'm serious too! Do yourself a favor and look past the cover!
I'm reading The Road by Jack London. It's great! He's a really excellent writer.
I sorta regrettably listened to 9 of those while I was working one summer. Those are the fantasy novels you can't even talk to fantasy readers about. They aren't that horrible tired high fantasy voice but it was still pretty drawn out and inaccessible, and rarely did it touch on ideas that had any transferable value!
Some of the characters are kinda cool though, and it does a good job of making you sad.
Someone reccomended I read some things by this author "CML"
Do you fellas have any suggestions?
CML actually has a book manuscript floating around, PM him for details.
Ringworld is way more fun than the successors but it's not like the finest 3 aren't fun
Foundation is way more fun than I thought but really disturbed me with how few feminine characters and perspectives there were. I guess it was written in the 50s when television was even an uncertain thing.
Ringworld was really fun, going further in the series might erode your patience.

Any history buffs here? I'm considering another read-through of Robert Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson, which is a true historical epic and probably the best non-fiction I've ever read.
