--- Quote from: typoguy on 28 Apr 2011, 00:59 ---Onl yon the third episode so far but Game of Thrones on HBO is quickly becoming my new favorite shows. Pretty much it about grabs for power between 7 fictional kingdomes. Much like meieval England, but with better characters. and it may or may not contain dragons later. And as we all know everything is better when you add dragons. Well except for Beowulf that movie was a shit factory, the only good thing about that movie was the theatre had really good popcorn

Ah, I'll lend my support to this recommendation. Game of Thrones has been truly excellent thus far! Sean Bean kicks ass (because that's what Sean Bean does; I mean in LotR he was a human pincushion and still fuckin' going), and there are dire wolves, gripping plots, fascinating characters, lots o' boobage, and a couple of characters who take a level in badass every damn time we see them.
Check it the hell out.

I just finished Tolkien's The Silmarillion and it also had dragons and was pretty darn epic. If you like dragons and want to get involved in an entire new cosmology, I recommend The often underappreciated Silmarillion.
IMMANotListening:
When you tie in altogether the Silmarillion with the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings, you realize that there aren't many authors like Tolkien who would put even half the amount of effort and heart he did for his work.
I highly recommend that if you liked the ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, you would really like The Once and Future King. It is an Arthurian fantasy novel but it really is T.H White's medium to show his own personal view of the ideal society. But don't let that deter you. It does not have the same romanticism of Arthurian tales but it is absolutely smashing and is a fantastic read.

Does anyone have a good suspense/drama novel to recommend to me? The book I got about zombies and unicorns isn't as awesome as I thought it would be
LTK:
Free ebooks, yay: I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I thought I knew what it meant to have an ideology, but oh how I was wrong.
