I have read the Soldiers Son trilogy, I enjoyed it alot but found some parts hard to follow. I have been meaning to read more Robin Hobb novels.

I have been re-reading Joe Abercrombie novels, he is my favourite author by far. Anyone who jumped on the George RR Martin bandwagon, read Abercrombie. Martin was an influence of his but he writes in a more succinct style and I can't get enough of his work. Start with his first trilogy, the First Law, as characters will pop up in later novels.

Guilty pleasure reading, apart from comics, has been Brian Keene horror novels. I find his style so easy to read and fly through his books in a couple of days. He has a talent for making me feel squeemish and writeslikable characters you want to survive....though most of his stuff has a grim ending.
