I usually like brandon sanderson, but warbreaker is an older work.

Right, because a book published less than 2 years ago (in 2009) is an older work.

when he has done 6 enormous books between, yes.

Edit: sorry... i sort of thought it was done alongside elantris, hence before mistborn/WoT/WoK.

Apparently, he worked on it some more since.

Dresden Files

-->Felix Castor series or Joe Pitt series, depending on how much noir you can tolerate

First Law Trilogy

-->Best Served Cold and The Heroes

Iron Druid Chronicles

-->any of a bazillion pretty much interchangeable UF series; maybe try the October Daye books or the Jesse James Dawson books

I liked Darren Shan - Cirque du Freak series a lot, loved them. Didn't like his Demonata series though, gave up twice after the second book.

What will I like after CdF?

[Hobbit]

Younger Hobbit went from the Darren Shan to the Skullduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy: might be an option.

Ben Aaronovitch: Rivers of London (Midnight Riot in the US), Moon Over Soho. third book due in June. Great fun - a few flaws but I was enjoying myself so much I didn't care.


Fated, by Benedict Jacka - only the first book is out just yet, but I think they will be out at 3 month intervals. Very, very good. Jim Butcher blurbed it as 'A book so good it reminded me why I got into storytelling in the first place'. Also craftily refs a certain Chicago wizard PI.... lol. Well worth reading imo

Sandman Slim books. I can only say - I pretty much had to read in one sitting. Awesome. Several books out.

ETA: I'll second the Carey nom - fab writer and nice bloke too.

I agree completely. And there's a new one due out later this year as well. Devil Said Bang

[SCI-FI INSERT - The character reminds me of Takeshi Kovacs from the Altered Carbon series by Richard Morgan, in that he turns violent at the drop of a hat. And such fun violence by the Sandman too]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this question . . .

I just watched the Hobbit and I loved the character of Radagast the Brown. His home, his style, his manner of transportation, and the idea of him living in the middle of nature was awesome! Are there any books that feature simiar wizards? More "earthy" and nature oriented if that makes sense? So basically if I liked him, then what other books would I like? Thanks!

Recently I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed Ready Player One, John Dies at the End and its sequel. Anybody have any recommendations that are similar to these?
