Ready Player One
Quote:
It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.

Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets...
The Magicians
Quote:
Quentin Coldwater is brillant but miserable. He's a senior in high school, and a certifiable genius, but he's still secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read as a kid, about the adventures of five children in a magical land called Fillory. Compared to that, anything in his real life just seems gray and colorless.

Everything changes when Quentin finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York...

Magicians was a dark harry potter, and a light read but I enjoyed it.

Some free Kindle books here.

Amazon.com: Customer Discussions: FREE Books and Chat - Friday, September 14, 2012

Going to have to sign backup for the ENT Newletter as it used to provide a 30 to 50 books and I've gotten some good freebies from it previously.

Several times I picked this book up, and put it aside for other reads. Finally finished it about a year ago (bought it 3-4 years ago) and was impressed. Nails the long term post apocalyptic themes, a lot of other books can't fully flesh out.

Oh man, I have a lot of those sitting in a box somewhere. I need to find it so I can re-read them. It's probably been 10 yrs or so since I last read one.

after spending 20 years waiting for the wheel of time series to be completed, and reading the song of ice and fire series I've got to say I find it incredibly hard to recommend someone go read an unfinished series.

waiting for the next book just annoys me. and it's even worse when the author dies.

Anyone else read 'Reamde' by Neal Stephenson?

It's one hell of a big book. Good story, great game concept in there. Gets a bit bogged down in the middle though.
