Dungeons and Drinking - Geeky Nerdy Readers discussion

I need more fantasy and sci-fi books to read, as I have been rather lacking lately. So go ahead and suggest some that you think that I cannot continue living my life without reading them!

:D

You can never read too many fantasy books!

A few of my favourites are:

Everything by Brandon Sanderson!
His mistborn trilogy:

He also wrote a steampunk fatasy set in the same world as Mistborn but several hundred years after the main series . it was good but not a patch on the main series.


and are also awesome.

Trudi Canavan is my other favourite fantasy author. Everything she writes is great but her Age of the Five trilogy is amazing:

I highly recommend Rivers of London and its sequels, by Ben Aaronovitch

Main character is a copper (starts off as just finishing off his probationary period) in London, who ends up in the Met's wizard division, doing magic. Really good books. Fun, exciting, funny reads. (Peter is the narrator and he's a massive nerd, so it's great to play "spot the sci fi or fantasy reference".) But they also deal (in a not too in-your-face way) with stuff like race and class and immigration, and, I suppose, just who London belongs to really. But all that is completely ignorable for the magic and ghosts and river gods if you prefer.

I've been meaning to read these for ages, I'd forgotton about them, thanks for the reminder!
