Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

My dad has an entire bookshelf dedicated to Louis L'Amour.
Quoth - There's a series by a dude named Simon R. Green that's pretty decent. I didn't like it as much as Dresden, but it's pretty ok. It's set in the "Darkside" of London, which is basically a magical underworld version. Oh, and the amount of Dresden Files ripoffs in them is pretty funny as well.

That is one of my favorite scenes in the play, and any time I'm hanging out with a certain group of friends the whole script ends up being quoted extensively

it is essentially a better version of waiting for godot, which is one incredible accomplishment
Also there is so much innuendo that you could cut it with a butter knife
Check out Neal Asher and Richard Morgan.
I loved Sabriel and only recently became aware of the other books

Anyway, you can totally read The Graveyard Book and Lirael in one day's reading. So get on that! I occasionally go through periods of not allowing myself to be distracted by library books or new books, just so I finish older unread things at some point in my life.

Or by the need to sleep apparently.

You can read The Scar without reading PSS first. Anything you need to know in the second book is explained (eventually). But if you can it is well worth it to do PSS first, both as a standalone enjoyable read and as a significant enhancement to your The Scar experience.
EDIT: And neither have any relation to King Rat, other than being written by the same dude. He grew a lot as a writer after KR, his first novel. I enjoyed it, but I think it's pretty clearly his weakest book.
That is awesome news, and unexpected since The City & The City just came out last May.

Jordan himself was pulling that "just a couple more books" bullshit since way back in the day.
And then he'd be all "Oh but there's just so much story to pack in I'm going to have to make it a couple books more, but before I even write those I'm going to go back to the first book and split that into two books and write like one new chapter for each."
Jordan could have lived to be 98 and still not finished this fucking thing.
That's a pretty sick burn.
edit: lost it in the database error: Although, looking at his wiki, it seems like him dying is the best thing for people who like his work. He did write, he just never published, and now it's all going to come out.
