Pillars of the Earth was one of my favorites, you could always reread that. My latest favorite is Moth Smoke, by Mosin (?) Hamid. It's about life in Pakistan and the author has a way with words. Very intelligent and amazingly well penned for his first novel. He really has an astute cognizance of the human condition, its frailties and egocentricisms.What should I read next?
We have a lot of favorite book in common (:

I'm absolutely in love with the Gateway Chronicles K.B. Hoyle. The first and second in the series ('The Six' and 'The Oracle') are on out and the third (The White Thread?) comes out this fall. I'm re reading them before I go to the midnight realease.
You should read all my open questions... Here's what some critics had to say: "Stunning, brilliant, LOL, facepalm, boys can't get pregnant, 2 points stupid idiot, etc"What should I read next?
The Truth by Terry Pratchett

Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Dune by Frank Herbert
Read

Weaveworld

and

A Confederacy of Dunces......by different guys
Philip K. Dick.

Especially Ubik, The Man In The High Castle, Time Out Of Joint, The Maze Of Death, A Scanner Darkly, Valis.

The master of paranoid, reality is not what it seems mindfeck SF. You know what they say about thrilling books : I couldn't put it down. Well, Dick is the only author who has made a book jump out of my hands.



Kurt Vonnegut : uses the SF genre to poke gentle fun at human frailty. A genuinely warm, philanthropic soul, to counter the weirdness of P.K. Dick.



More Iain M. Banks surely, if you liked Feersum thingy.
