If memory serves, R. Scott Bakker (Prince of Nothing series) is Canadian and his books are top-notch Fantasy!

I do so enjoy salmon, especially on the grill!

Welcome to the forum, Libre! :cool:

Greetings! I read Titus Groan a while ago, good read I must say.

Anyone with Igoo the Rock Ape for an avatar is cool in my book! Welcome to the forum, curiouswonder!

I want to read Ashes by H.R. Howland and Vigil by Robert Masello, they both look pretty cool. :cool:

I had to read carefully, last time someone mentioned football at TBF they were talking about what we Americans call Soccer :eek: BLASPHEMY!!! But, yes! I am cuckoo-for-cocoa puffs PSYCHED about the Football season starting! GO EAGLES :D

I'm currently reading book 4 of Kevin J. Anderson's Saga of Seven Suns. Book 1 is titled Hidden Empire. Of course I would also highly recommend Dune by Frank Herbert if you've never read it.

Fantasy readers are taking over the Book Forum! :D Welcome, Vardarys!

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.

All excellent suggestions. I would add The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, Legend by David Gemmell, Wit'ch Fire by James Clemens and The Runelords: The Sum of All Men by David Farland. These are all great jumping...

Wow, I thought this quote was from Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders :o

Hmmm...possibly The Witches of Eileanan by Kate Forsyth?

In my family, I'm the one who's most frequently mistaken for a simian beast, fortunately though, my wife hasn't (yet) attempted to pop a cap in my ass.

I am currently reading The Loch by Steve Alten, a novel about (you guessed it) The Loch Ness Monster. It also contains quite a bit of Scottish history, including some William Wallace lore. I've read almost all of Steve's books, I liked the Meg books (giant, prehistoric sharks on a feeding...
