I finished A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin this week and it was amazing. I heard about the series here at SA and all I can say is: thank you Goons. The book was absolutely epic and very refreshing in comparison to the other fantasy literature I've read (Salvatore and Tolkien). I plan on picking up the next book in the series as soon as possible. Also read through what matters most is how well you walk through the fire by Charles Bukowski and it was also fantastic. I've always been a huge fan of his poetry and it never fails to disappoint. Now I'm off to finish The Catcher In The Rye for the nth time.

Yiggy posted:I really enjoy that one too. Have you read any of Mockingbird Wish Me Luck? Not yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. I plan to pick up a copy as soon as I finish Bukowski's Run With The Hunted. Actually, how would you say Mockingbird stands up against his other work? I might start it first if it's as good as I hear.

Yiggy posted:I had a similar introduction to Bukowski. I read his Dinosauria, We poem and loved it, bought Walking Through The Fire and was an instant fan. I've never enjoyed poetry as much as other literature, but Bukowski hit me harder than the rest I had read. His style helped open my eyes that poetry did not have to be pretty and rhyme for it to be amazing, meaningful and occasionally hilarious ('I Hear All The Latest Hit Tunes' is a great example of the latter). And Rain sold me on buying Mockingbird. I'm going to drop by the bookstore tomorrow and see if they've got a copy.
