Every forum needs a proper book thread. Whether you want to recommend a book or you're looking for something new to read.
Currently I'm in between two books:
Kingkiller Chronicles (2nd book) "The Wise Man's Fear" and The Kalevala.
The Kalevala, is more of a casual read. It's Finnish mythology. If you're familiar with the Scandinavian Eddas, it's very similar.
Kingkiller Chronicle is a great fantasy read. It's in the same vein as Lord of the Rings, though not as epic. It's digestable fantasy with a very hopeless, melancholic feel to it.
As you may be able to tell, I am a fan of fantasy and mythology. But my tastes vary across the board. The last "great" book I read was a book by Blaine Harden entitled "Escape from Camp 14". It follows the life of a young man who was born and raised inside a North Korean labor camp. It is disturbing and will leave you with a feeling of helplessness.
