Warcraft Well Read discussion

Big fan of Percy Jackson novels (mainly because I also love Greek Myth). If you enjoy the Blizzard stories I would also suggest picking up Star Craft 2 Devil's Due :)

I enjoy quite a bit of urban fantasy (Dresden Files, Downside Ghost, Anita Blake--though I don't want to talk about the books after Obsidian Butterfly). Another fave of mine are the Taltos novels by Steven Brust, which are high fantasy and center around an assassin named Vlad, a human in a world comprised mostly of very long-lived elves (draegarans). Those have a lot of dry humor and Brust writes amazing dialogue.

Xanth by piers Anthony. I'm a big fantasy person. I've read up to book 32.

Ya it was my parents books I think I started reading them when I was 16-17

I really struggle to answer this question. I like some total fluff. I read all of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I liked them, just for pure escapism. Hated Twilight (only read the first book and thought Bella was complete milk toast and boring). I like Karen Marie Moning's Fever series for more fluffy goodness. If I feel a little more serious, I tend to try to harvest reads from Award winning books. That's how I found Jose Saramago's Blindness, which is really dark but I found it to be brilliant (never saw the movie, read the book years ago). I liked Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow (thought she was brilliant in world-building) and its sequel Children of God. More recently, I liked Life of Pi, and I'm on the 2nd Game of Thrones book.

I tend to like we'll written things, preferably fantasy. Though I'm always open to well researched non-fiction/theory books.

I love reading fantasy. I just finished Game of Thrones (Book 1 of the series). I've never played WoW but have looked into reading the books for awhile. I like reading the Halo series (Video Game). I also read a lot of non-fiction, especially current military stories, like Lone Survivor. I'll read some young adult fiction sometimes and other genres if I see something interesting.

I'm glad to see a group like this though. I had received several WoW books for Christmas. I just happened to come across the podcast on accident. It's been a little confusing trying to find out what order to read the books on because every site seems to list a different order.

If you like the historical books, I would suggest Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield! Simply an amazing book about Sparta. What other WoW books did you get for Christmas?

I read Gates of Fire last year. It was really good! The other WoW books I got were: Rise of the Horde, Tides of Darkness, The Last Guardian, Beyond the Dark Portal, and Day of the Dragon. A couple of posts on some of the WoW forums listed these as the first ones to read.

I am a fairly big fan of Stephen King. I also enjoy pretty much anything high fantasy. I would recommend Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw to all fans of WoW.

I'm currently re-reading Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series, just love how the lands mirror ancient times with France, Greece, Italy ect...and the main characters are compelling to me. I also grew up on Piers Anthony Xanth series as well as Anne McCaffery's Dragon Riders of Pern and Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar novels are another favorite of mine. Some series I found by chance was the Obsidian Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory and yes I love Game of Thrones series as well. Have devoured all of the books and anxiously waiting for the next one.
I just finished reading a biography called Size matters not by Warwick Davis-Any star wars fans (of which I am one) will know him as Wickett the Ewok, among his many roles of which Willow was my favorite. He's an excellent story teller and has an awesome sense of humor. I could go on and on but I'll try and pace my self :)

I can read most anything, since I got my IPad last year, I have read "Hunger Games" trilogy, read "girl with Dragon Tattoo" read some Tom Clancy and Anne Rice and Piers Anthony, read "The shattering" and "Dawn of the aspects" but my heart truly belongs to Stephen King when it comes to reading, I have everything in hardback. Love,love love his work.

I've personally been really enjoying the Polseen Books by John Ringo been just burning through them. I tend to be slow to move into new worlds but once I'm happy in one I'm in neck deep which might explain why I've read so many warcraft books =)

I flew a lot this year so I had a lot of time to read. I have gotten into a lot of the Doris Kern Goodwin school of historical nonfiction (history by narrative, not numbers). The Path to Power which details the rise and fall of LBJ is probably my most favorite books currently. I'd check it out if you've got a good dose of free time coming (each book in the series is 900+ pages.)

If anyone has seen House of Cards on Netflix, btw, a lot of Francis Underwood's mannerisms are inspired by LBJ.

I read a lot of things. Everything from intense history disection to fluffy fantasy. A series I tore through was Marcus Hietz's Dwarves series. Max Brooks's World War Z is on my top ten list. One of the most interesting books I read last year was 'Zombie CSU' they took the idea of a zombie attack and broke it down to scientific probability. The author went through each step of an attack and consuluted experts in each field with how could this be possible or is it even possible. Great Read

I like The Shannara books by Terry Brooks, The Riftwar Saga and Empire Trilogy by Raymond E Feist
There's a lot of great books out there but gosh I wish I had more hours in a day to read!
