Just watched the film. Interested. |

Not a sequel; just his next book |

I think Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain series is timeless if you have to read something not online, it's a more interesting and entertaining read that any of the J.R.R. Tolkien books, and less laborius. All these years later they are still the most enjoyable books I ever read, though, and I first read them when I was around ten. |

Anything by Robert E howard, Fritz Lieber, and Sergei Lukyanenko
I rarely read fiction though, but those are the best of the low fantasy aka no gay dragons and elves and shit, much more realistic fantasy |

read the original I Am Legend. book is manly as fuck.
The Star Rover by Jack London. written in 1915. loved the style of writing, really interesting concept. the movie "The Jacket" was based on this book but is obviously a lot gayer. its actually as different as "I Am Legend" is from it's movie counterpart.
it sounds really gay... but the Magic The Gathering: Onslaught cycle trilogy by Robert J King is an incredible read. if you can find those 3 books, make sure you get them and read them. it starts off a little awkwardly. by that i mean that the writing is a little clunky and i really seemed to not give a shit about the main characters at all. but i soon start to get into everything. i had way too much fun reading them. it's a fantasy story obviously... nerdy, but awesome. |

i was just in sf for a few weeks and I went to the hotel on Geary Street where he wrote Our Lady of Darkness. They actually just put up a plaque outside on the side of the building commemorating him and the novel a few months ago |

Weaveworld by Clive Barker. |
|
|
non-fiction = Biocentrism by Robert Lanza and Bob Berman = mindblowing book about the "physical" universe and it's relationship with consciousness.
Fiction = Seed to Harvest by Octavia E Butler = Badass collection of three related sci/fi - fantasy novels that will also blow your mind if you're willing! |

I've actually only just begun reading Lieber, going through all the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stuff...which I can't believe is so unknown...far exceeds Lord of The Rings. They guy is both funny, witty, dark, and detailed with his stories, I don't think a better duo of heroes exist than Fafhrd and Gray Mouser.
As soon as I get done with that series I will move onto his other works. |

I haven't checked out his sword and sorcery work but yeah, he was a huge pioneer in that kinda stuff so it definitely must be worth a read. Where should I start with that? A manuscript of another supernatural horror type novel he did in the late 50s was published a few years back but its something like 30 bucks, kinda steep. He contributed a short piece to Ellison's Dangerous Visions that is very good and worth the price of the book (about ~10 bucks on abe) but everything in both of the Dangerous Visions collections should be required reading anyway.
I'd like to get the collection of literary essays he did on Lovecraft but that thing is through the roof pricewise |

Oh yeah, Fritz Leiber plays a pretty big role in a old dope cheeseball monster movie called Equinox. Watch it and GEEK OUT |
