What other books are you reading? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Left Behind is very good, but also very intense. I've read all but the latest, and the only reason I haven't read that is my mother hasn't finished (which is rather annoying, as the end of the last one I read was something of a cliffhanger). If you do read them, be warned. The usual "He/she's a main character, he/she'll be okay" does not apply. Some of the best characters die.

Anyway...

I liked Great Expectations, but maybe that's because I didn't have to read it.

I finally remembered the author of The Farseer Trilogy; Robin Hobb. The books are called Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest. They are so sad, but they are amazingly good. Most amazing, they don't borrow from Tolkien, at least not that I noticed.
