any other suggestions then?

If you haven't read the Hunger Games trilogy, you might as well pick those up... They are easy reads, and are a good story... You can get a hardcover box set at Target for like $25, and it the three books only span like 1000 pages or so...

Plus the movie for the first book is coming out next year, and it was filmed in Asheville...

I'm currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (also going to be a movie in December) but it is kinda tough to get into so far... I think it is the first book in a trilogy too...

Just saw this thread and I'm not going to read through it all right now so I apologize if I'm repeating any earlier suggestions.

Otherland series, Tad Williams

Eden series, Harry Harrison

Black Jewels trilogy, Anne Bishop

Belgariad and Mallorean series', David Eddings

Having a brain fart on some others, I'll post when I get back home and can look at my library.

I'm reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. 52% in, and it is great so far.

I've got "Ready Player One" by Earnest Cline and "Reamde" by Neal Stephenson in my queue.

I'm also thinking about adding "Kushiel's Dart" by Jaqueline Carey.

And for you Zombie lovers. Check out "Feed" and "Deadline" from Mira Grant

I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned it yet, but the Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy series is one of the best out there.

It's more down to earth with its dialogue and interaction between characters than other epic fantasy works like Wheel of Time.

It's like ASoIaF, with the realistic take in its approach with showing the humanity of the characters.

I personally find it both more entertaining and engaging than more popular series like WoT(good but VERY detailed oriented in every chapter, down to the paragraphs) and ASoIaF(also great, but more filler in certain parts).

It's reminiscent of The Black Company, if any of you have read that.

MBotF is one of the most popular epic fantasy series (multi million books sold), but nowhere near as popular as works by GRRM or Robert Jordan. Still, if you enjoyed either of their works, I highly suggest reading Mazalan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.

The series just finished last year, so you can get pretty much all of them in small paperback form if wanted.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
