Hakurei Wrote:Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series is pretty cool if you have some time on your hands. It's a seven book series that's kind of a mix of Western, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. I've only read two out of the seven so far but I'm finding them to be pretty awesome.
There's an 8th book now too, called The Wind through the Keyhole, it's set between Wizards Glass (4th book) and Wolves of the Calla (5th book) and apparently bridges the gap between them so they make more sense. I'd highly recommend you get that one after reading the 4th book.
I've been meaning to get it but keep forgetting haha.
Anyway yeah, i highly recommend the Dark Tower series, especially if you have read other works by Stephen King. Later on in the series all the books and seemingly independent stories start to mix together. So you are like "Holy crap, those are the monsters from The Mist!" "That's the destroyed world from The Stand!"
On a side note, i recommend any book by Stephen King.
And i agree with [MENTION=279]Jon[/MENTION] about the Sookie Stackhouse novels, brilliant pieces of work. I love the Louisiana culture and it just captures it really well.
The romance isn't too overbearing and it's quite realistic, unlike a certain other vampire series which i will never mention. It can get quite actiony too, and sad.
Also, Pam is hilarious and i could read the entire series just for her jokes and one-liners, true story.
