I'm reading a book called WAR LETTERS

for anyone who likes WWII, Vietnam, Gulf war, WWI, check this book out!!

It's a HUGE collection of letters from soldiers sent to loved ones back home. In many of them, they share their experiences in war, such as the landings in Normandy, the rush at Iwo Jima, and all the horror stories of war.

It's super intersting, and was a New York best seller. Check it out if you're interested in WWII, or any of the wars I listed.

I read somuch at work that I try to play BF when I'm not there. I just started reading Neuromancer. The last thing I finished was the Overcoat by Gogol. The only reason I got through that is because it was a short story.

The Farseer Trilogy series is
1. Assassin's Apprentice
2. Royal Assassin
3. Assassin's Quest

The Liveship Trader Series (which takes place in the same world and the same time but in Bingtown rather than The Six Duchies) is:
1. Ship of Magic
2. Mad Ship
3. Ship of Destiny

The Second series with FitzChivalry is the Tawny Man series and is still being published. The books are:
1. Fool's Errand
2. Golden Fool
3. Still to come....

If you liked the Farseer trilogy then move onto the Liveship Traders which is also very good. The "joining: of these 2 series takes place in The Tawny man trilogy. I really dig Robin Hobb's writing. Very developed characters that you care about. Truly enjoyable.

Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series has me locked up pretty tight right now. I am on book 5 and shit is happening. While his epic fantasy has been compared to Jordan I really don't buy it. The similarities are ones that can be said about the entire genre and his way of wrapping up each book puts Jordan's fantastical diarreah to shame.

It was a trilogy, but she has since come back to the storyline and I believe is continuing it.

Oops. I didn't realize Random already answered it.
