Now reading [books]

Inheritance (Eragon series), and I find it absolutely amazing!
Onto the side stories next for sure! Can't wait for book five!

It inspires me a lot! I am working on a tabletop game set in the universe. Also, I would like to recreate some of the locations in UE5, although I don't have enough skills to do that. And I would like to design and get Brisingr (Eragon's sword)!

The author said he's working with Disney on live-action Eragon series...I will definitely be keeping my eye on that!

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Only just started it, so no major impressions yet.

My previous read was Great Expectations, also by Dickens, and I liked it though I had some trouble with the old language and words.

• Blood Bowl

+ The Wheel of Time (entire series [...may require a larger bookshelf.])
+ The Saga of Recluse (entire series [...may require additional bookshelves.])
+ Fallen Dragon (which is sci-fi, not fantasy, and a pretty unique story.)

By the way, anyone of you ever written a book? Anyone interesting in writing fantasy or horror stuff? I'm writing my first novella/short story in horror genre... just to amuse myself.

You probably don’t mean this kind of book, but I did get my book on designing, building, and running a Halloween haunt for fundraising published by McFarland. It included some of my original ideas for illusions, such as using a concave mirror behind scrim to produce the image of a ghost popping through the wall. When I was a teen, I dreamed of writing a book on “magic tricks” that would be available in the library (I spent a lot of time in them). So I consider this mission accomplished.

I've just started the Three Body Problem. I'm hoping that the book makes more sense than the Netflix show.

Since watching the Rising of the Shield Hero anime, I've been reading the light novels and only recently started the 2nd book.

 

[Ceenobi52]

I’ve taken a great interest in wanting to write a book myself lately

 

[Draconifors]

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Reading through Douglas Adams's fantastic five-part trilogy once again, but for the first time in English.

It's even more hilarious than I remembered.

 

[BrittanyHayes4Ever]

Wanna start reading the Foundation trilogy as I'm finding the show adaptation severely lacking

 

[SigilFey]

Going through and teaching both The Once and Future King and 1984 again. Disparate, I know, but I'm reminded about how much I loved both of the stories again.

 

[TeamAltCunningham]

I started reading The Last Wish

 

[ReptilePZ]

In anticipation for Nolan's rendition of the Odyssey, I've been re-reading it and the Illiad. Always fascinates me that we have access to such extensive ancient works. That they still resonate so well reveals just how little we've really changed over such vast amounts of time.

Reading some chill camping manga. Very fitting for the season.

Interesting find: https://archive.org/details/moebius-the-long-tomorrow-other-science-fiction-stories

The storytelling of "The Long Tomorrow" is inspired by film noir and hardboiled crime fiction, but the story is set in a distant, science fiction future, making it one of the first true cyberpunk stories. Pioneering cyberpunk author William Gibson said of "The Long Tomorrow":

"So it's entirely fair to say, and I've said it before, that the way Neuromancer-the-novel 'looks' was influenced in large part by some of the artwork I saw in Heavy Metal. I assume that this must also be true of John Carpenter's Escape from New York, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, and all other artifacts of the style sometimes dubbed 'cyberpunk'. Those French guys, they got their end in early

This is also pretty cool (note, it's an abridged version):
