Re: OT...great books
Just finished re reading George RR Martin's 3 books in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I really got so much more out of it this time around, I just hope he gets the next book out soon, or I will have to re read them again.

Re: OT...great books
i bought one of those Ebooks so i wouldnt be moving boxes and boxes of books when i move...now the SOBs have gone out of business. i recomend the majority of the books mentioned by the other posters. my personal favs are Harry Turtledove, David Drake, and Robert Jordan. those guys rock.

Re: OT...great books
For those of you out there who love action and classical literature, try "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde.
Synopsis: an agent of LiteraTec is embroiled in tracking one of the most dangerous men in this alternative modern day England where the Crimean War is still going.
It is being touted as a Harry Potter for adults. While I might not go that far, there are some great moments in this story.
