My favorite fantasy series is the 'Song of Ice and Fire' by George RR Martin.

 

I have really enjoyed his stuff and he not afraid to kill of main characters which is refreshing...

I second the GOT books, SOIAF...great.  I kinda liked Swan Song and Carrion Comfort (more horror) but good.

I just finished Daemon by Daniel Suarez... It is a pretty good Sci-Fi novel. Basically, this major programmer dies, and he's designed this intricate program that launches itself automatically after his death. The program goes after his enemies/the world economy etc. with the goal of toppling the status quo.

that's really similar to something i have planned for book 4, but it's just a sub-arc really

Just finished book 2 of the Legends of the First Empire series by Michael J. Sullivan.

I gotta say, this is probably going to make its way to film at some point. Excellent story, and I’d put him up there with GRRM, Rothfuss, and Lynch... the difference being that Sullivan actually gives a damn about his readers and churns the books out. The first two came out a year apart, and the next one is due out in July. I’m excited.

    • As a general optimist who tries to be even handed, I was in the “I have hope” but it’s now gone category.  I acknowledged that the bad games were more frequent than the OK ones which were in turn more frequent than the good ones. I just held out hope that he could put things together and more consistently perform at those mid and higher levels. But I’m off that train now. I think he can probably improve his consistency a bit from where he is, but it’ll never be good enough. He’s on the roster next year because he’s under contract, but I don’t think we should pick up his 5th year option and definitely not extend him. He may start next year too because there genuinely are not as many competent QBs as there are starting spots in the league, so the alternatives are all trash. But we’ve got to get fresh blood in the QB room and find our next starter. 
    • Dalton was signed to a 2 year contract. That's not done just for preseason. Bryce is in year 3. He doesn't need a mentor. He needs a push. Dalton was here to protect Bryce through the remainder of his contract, minus the 5th year. Bryce has been shielded from threat. Plummer was nothing but camp fodder in his 2nd year, terrible to the point he should have been churned in week 2 or 3 of preseason, but we bring him back year 3 and low and behold, he still sucks. No real number 2 or attempt to get one. No rookie QB. Give Bryce everything he needs and keep him comfortable has been the strategy for 2 years hoping to improve on the disaster that was his rookie season.  It's still a disaster. 
    • Canales biggest problem is himself. He cannot figure out what the average Huddler can. We ran the ball to substantially above average success against the 49ers but then continued to call pass play after pass play for a bad QB. The overall fault of the offensive struggling fall far more into Canales lap than even Bryce's. How many times has he continued to do the exact same thing? Go away from something working for unknown reasons?
