Book Recc post.
Alright, so let me lay this out:
I will read just about anything. I like a lot of different things. I tend to read more fantasy than anything else, but will read just about any fiction. I've gotten into a lot of YA lately and seem to be churning my way through that. Nonfiction I'm very particular on and will read what I want there.
What I want is a list of books/series that you my dear readers think that I should look into. Give me a To Be Read pile. I don't really have one.
Currently I have the following out from the library:
The Warrior Heir Cinda Williams*
The Wizard Heir Cinda Wiliams
Graceling Kristin Cashore
Beyond the Valley of Thorns Patrick Carman
Wolverine: Weapon X Marc Cerasini
The Dark Griffin K.J. Taylor
I am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas Adam Roberts
Shadowfall James Clemens
The Priest of Blood Douglas Clegg
So, that's what I have out right now.
I have read Mercedes Lackey - pretty much everything, really and don't really care for Anne McCaffrey. But, give me books. Again, I'll read just about anything and have plans to be buying the books of a few people I know that are now published. (Katey, looking at you, dude!)
*Just finished this one like... ten minutes ago. It's a good, solid, book and I think a lot of people would enjoy it. There's a wizard society that lives amongst us and they hold tournaments using those born with 'warrior stones' to fight their battles. I found it interesting and will be getting the third book The Dragon Heir when I can.

If I were you, I'd go for a full reread of the TN books because man, but there's some funky over-reaching plot arcs going on through the whole series. I've maybe made it my policy to reread the series prior to starting each new book, which was kinda ridiculous with the last book what with it being book 6, but it was undeniably awesome (although I did have to break up the absurbist metafiction with my beloved non-fiction in order that my brains didn't leak out of my ears).
