Hey All,
I've just finished reading "A Storm of Swords" by George Martin and it was sooo unbelievable... I just wanna know if anyone else has read this and if you can recommend anything like it...
thanks,

Yeah, I recommend reading the first two books in the series. But that's stating the obvious???!!!

Hi - I recommend Tad Williams 'Memory, Sorrow and Thorn' trilogy, Robin Hobb's 'The Farseer' trilogy and 'The Liveship Traders' trilogy and Kate Elliott's 'Crown of Stars' series (4 books so far, 1 to go). Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (9 books so far, who knows how many to go)! and 'A Cavern of Black Ice' by JV Jones (1st book in a trilogy, I think. that all I can think of so far. Enjoy!

after starting to read Robin Hobb's 'The Farseer' trilogy after reading tons of good reviews for ir here i will recomended also, eventhough i haven't finished the first book yet.It is GREAT tough.
You should read Rojer Zelazny's Amber series. it is defenitly one of the best ever IMHO.
'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King is also great, a bit diferent though.
look into Clive Barker too, I like his books alot. They should be mentioned more in this forum !!!( 'Weaveworld', 'Cabal', 'The Great and Secret Show'...)

A Must Read
Steven Erikson's
"Gardens of the moon" and "Deadhouse Gates"
They are just amazing, Gardens of the moon is book 1 and Deadhouse is book 2, in a planned series of 10. If you liked "A Storm of Swords" then you will definitely like this.

I have seen GREAT things about Erikson, but unfortunately, his books aren't yet available in the United States. Same goes for James Barclay.

I agree with Shadowen, Tad William's Momory, Sorrow and Thorn is utterly amazing, and an unpredicable storyline
Here are the books
The Dragonbone Chair
The Stone of Farewell
To Green Angel Tower
To Green Angel Tower is a one volume book in hardback, but the paperback version is in 2 parts:-
Part One:- To Green Angel Tower: Seige
Part Two:- To Green Angel Tower: Storm
