Yeah, although...I have to say that I enjoyed the Robot Series more so far.

Hmmm, that's a hard choice....they're both so incredibly good. I'll just say I love Asimov, period.

I really don't have a problem if people don't read. Do whatever you like. I personally take no pleasure in watching sports.
What strikes me as pathetic is taking pride in it like it's some kind of bragging right.

I don't either, but when you're so quick to dismiss something like a good book, it is a little saddening.

Reading (the right) book is more intellectually stimulating than watching a sport, a movie, or playing a video game. That's why it's a "bragging right."

This is kinda disappointing to read. Especially because adaptations of books almost always suck. And as much as I love movies, games, and TV, books are amazing. I really recommend you try one.

A Song of Ice and Fire series, again (4th book at the moment), the Sandman complete collection. Still have lots of stuff in my backlog, but I always pick up a classic and read it for the 10th time :-/

A Song of Ice and Fire is actually really interesting to go through again. Knowing what's coming kinds of adds a new element to enjoy. Always wanted to read Sandman, I'll get around to it one day.

I'd recommend Sandman. It's an excellent read, even if you don't like comics (like myself). I tried it out of curiosity, and found how amazing it is.

Interesting but also such a pain. I fell that A Feast for Crows is where GRRM goes a bit off the rails as it feels like he is being paid by the word count. I have no problem with lengthy books, having read Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire a few times, but getting through FfC was a chore. Still an amazing series.

Hardly. But reflects some of the stuff in the book. :)

The book and the game are nothing alike in terms of major events. That said, I thought both were incredibly good, and the atmosphere and tone are very similar.

Check out The Children of Hurin if you eventually wish to read something more serious from Tolkien. Also, his translations and essays are simply a must for everyone.

I loved the Children of Hurin (all of Tolkien's books somehow related to Lotr), but then again, I guess The Silmarillion hits the no.1 in serious business of 'Tolkien's Middle-Earth'

Silmarillion takes it to a totally new level. It's 'holy-crap-what-the-hell-is-this' seriousness.

No kidding. When a book has over a dozen stories that are equally as (or more) epic in scope as LotR, you know it's serious. One of my favorite books ever.

I agree funymunky. I like The Hobbit the most because it was the start of it all. The creepy Golem roaming through the dark, watery tunnels. When he talks about his "pretty", the significant and infamous Ring starts an epic adventure. Well worth reading. Yes, I've loved reading since I was 5. I still prefer an actual book over Kindle or the Nook, an iPad, a smart phone~did I leave anything out? Reading..it makes the brain feel great! ;-)

Nice to see I'm not alone in prefering a good old fashioned hard-cover, paper book :) I liked both the Hobbit and the LOTR series, though I find Tolkien's writting style a bit monotone and hard to read.

Ready Player One. I'm doing the audiobook, narrated by wil wheaton

from amazon: 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.

And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.
