LOL. It was a photograph of the Bible.

George RR Martin, for Fevre Dream and Sandkings. He hasn't finished his Song of Ice and Fire epic, so I'll leave that off.

I loved the Song of Ice and Fire, or what has come out yet. He is a really good author.

An amazing series and one I'd highly recommend to any fantasy fan that's also a political fan. Its just an amazingly fun series. Far more dark, adult, and gritty than you find in most fantasy books I think. Martin makes R.A. Salvatore and his blandy bland bland dark elf look like its a kids story on the level of Harry and the Purple Crown (and I generally like Salvatore's work, but its just striking the different level Martin is on).

However, I'm starting to think someone needs to go "Stephen King" on his ass and run his fat behind down with a van so he'll hurry up and finish the series. Just please, if this happens, don't let him write himself in as a character.


(I still hate him for screwing that series up so royally at the end)

Anybody else read any of Khaled Hosseini's books? He only has two and their both about modern Afghanistan conflicts. They are both insightful, and emotional. Both heartbreaking and inspiring.

I know his works may not be considered brain food? But my favorite author is James Lee Burke
