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.

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.

I just started reading the WoT series. I didn't know it was unfinished. Im almost done with book 4. Fml. I too hate unfinished series.

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.
