Kevin's Watch

For people to make very specific recommendations to individual people rather than sweeping recommendations at large (as the existing threads do).


for example:


Cameraman Jenn:

if you have not already read them, please check out the Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson books (urban fantasy) by Patricia Briggs

why? Because the main character is a very cool female auto mechanic working in the Pacific Northwest, so you might enjoy them

That is actually what I intended the Recommendation Thread for--people who wanted to find something that would suit their own specific tastes to ask for recommendations. It's just that noone's had any requests since I posted the thread. Though this is the other way around (offering unsolicited recommendations) so it might be different enough.

Malik - have you ever tried Jackie Carey's Sundering duology?

It is a sort of twisted retelling of Tolkien's Silm, with both god-led "sides" committing all sorts of atrocities, all the while thinking they are completely in the right...

So you're saying that I should recommend Herbert's The Dosadi Experiment to Creator because he, slightly, reminds me of a Gowachin? I don't know if that is fair....

*covering grin*

I recommend The Godslayer Chronicles by James Clemens to Avatar.

I recommend the first Amber chronicles to me.

Me: Sweet, I just ordered them!

I recomend the Sarantian Mosiac to Esmer, as it holds interesting ideals about faith and religion.

drew, what are the titles of the individual books?

Sailing to Sarantium
and
Lord of Emperors
