Fantasy books
Does it have to be forgotten realms, if not books to pick up aer Robin Hobbs Farseer trilogy, this consists of assasins apprentice, royal assasin and assasins quest I think, anyway the best thing to happen to the genre in a long long time.
Next a trip with Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickmans Deathgate cycle, a very good series.
Robert Jordans Wheel of Time books are excellent until book 5 or so where it loses pace but still must read stuff.
I have to mention Tolkiens Lord of The Rings trilogy and what can I say that hasnt been said before about that, to summarise must haves for fantasy fans.
Normal fiction
I cant even hope to give a best of here so ill mention good books ive read recently.
Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas, Hunter s Thompson. Hes funny, serious, twisted, scathing moving and brilliant , cant reccomend this highly enough, great writer.
Kazuo Ishiguro, An artist of the floating world. this is a serious deep book not to be picked up lightly but to be picked up no matter what. Ill give you a quote from the review in the sunday times ''A work of elegance: refined understated economic.'' It won some award I forget what.
The man who was thursday, Cheskerton. Great early spy novel about anarchists and serious policemen all combined in a cosmic joke. You will get it when you read it.
