Love BCS, in some ways moreso than BB.

GoT is a must along with just about anything from HBO, Silicon Valley, John Oliver, The Leftovers(probably my favorite).

I like Homeland, Walking Dead, Preacher and Mr. Robot but the new mini series The Night Of on HBO has been awesome.

Now WestWorld is coming out on HBO in October, that is going to take the mantle once GoT finishes it's last 12 or so episodes.

I just finished Dancer's Lament as well as The Fall of Light. The Kharkanas Trilogy is some real dense stuff.  And would only recommend to real hard core fans.  It goes into insane amounts of depth regarding the formation of the magic system. 

So 10 books in the main series, 7 ICE books and 2 Kharkanas prequal novels...that is a lot of pages

Read The Martian. Really a great book, even better than the movie, though the film did a great job.

I think that's 10 for the year.

I see you are reading some Asimov books.  they are what really started my love for fantasy/Sci-Fi.  I'm sure I don't need to tell you but the the 14 books that encompass the Foundation, Empire, Robot series must all be read to get the total picture.

Welcome to the Second Apocalypse, Fiddler Farstrider.

Lately, I've been considering Malazan again...

Thanks...I'm really enjoying this forum.  Just trying to figure some stuff out and become a productive poster.

Malazan may be the slog of all slogs but it worth the trip

Keep reading...for me it was an almost 18 month journey through the 10 Erikson novels, followed by the 6 ICE books.  I also highly reccomend  Forge of Darkness, the first book in the Kharkanas Trilogy(Fall of Light should be out in Spring).
