Do you have a favorite book?

[triplets_93]

The brother of Rod Serling is Robert Serling. He wrote about aviation. His work of Fiction "The President's Plane Is Missing" is a favorite book of mine.

I think my fav book was Goodbye to a River by John Graves about his last canoe trip down a portion of the Brazos before it was damned off and the history of the land flooded and forgotten. Lots of true Texas history and written in the stream of consciousness style of James Joyce.

Too many to count latest one is : The Crowed by Gustave le Bon

I'm a Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror guy.

My favorites are:
Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson - Epic fantasy at its best. The scope and complexity of this series far and away beyond anything else out there.
The First Law trilogy - Joe Abercrombie - One of the most Grimdark series. Awesome!
The Black Company - Glen Cook - Grimdark before there was such a thing. Inspiration of Erikson's
The Dark Tower - Stephen King - Everyone loves King, right! I could add a lot of his books to my list.
The Faithful and the Fallen - John Gwynne - Lots of old school tropes in this series but done very well.

Some others I like:
Stormlight Archive - Brandon Sanderson
Path to Ascendancy - Ian C. Esselmont
The Stand - Stephen King
Demon Cycle - Peter Brett
Novels of the Malazan Empire - Ian C. Esselmont
Riftwar - Raymond Feist
Farseer - Robin Hobb
Coldfire Trilogy - C.S. Friedman
Ready Player One - Ernest Cline
Silo Series - Hugh Howey
Kingkiller Chronicles - Pat Rothfuss
Frontlines - Marko Kloos
The Fold - Peter Clines
Commonwealth Saga - Peter F. Hamilton
The Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne - Brian Stavely
Acts of Caine - Matthew Stover
Immortal Treachery - Allan Batchelder
Nevernight Chronicle - Jay Kristoff
Necroscope - Brian Lumley
Legend of Zero - Sara King
Greatcoats - Sebastien de Castell
Library at Mount Char - Scott Hawkins
Tales of the Ketty Jay - Chris Wooding
Most of Dan Simmons' books
Iron Druid - Kevin Hearne
Dresden Files - Jim Butcher
The Martian - Andy Weir

Love Mancour! Only on the second book.

Just finished Footwizard. Might be the best book yet and that's saying a lot.

I will be all over The Desert Prince when it comes out. Loved Demon Cycle.
I've got a few of the Red Rising books on my phone I just haven't started them yet.
Spellmonger sounds interesting. I'll put it on my TBR.

As I've said before, I'm on Book 2 of the Spellmonger series.

I think what I like best is that the books, at least the first two, are told in first person.
