i can only recommend Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. You'd best start with Guards Guards! or Soul Music (Pratchett at his wittiest).

thanks for the giveaway again, I also edited my own earlier post to add the choice as you suggested before

trentonlf: I am guessing you have probably already read these, but David Eddings also wrote The Belgariad and The Malloreon series, excellent books also ;)
Actually, I have all books of both of those series (got them as a teenager after falling in love with The Elenium) but only made it halfway through the 3rd book of the Belgariad and decided The Elenium was better (Belgariad felt too formulaic to me, even though it was very well written), and stopped reading and never went back! And I've never read any of the Mallorean. I should read those, I bet I could blaze through them in no time. Good idea!

I've been reading the Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. It has been really freaking good! Here is the link to the Amazon page

Thanks for the chance!

P.S. have you watched the Watership Down movie? A bit psychedelic, but really good :)

Thanks for this raffle.

I'm in for American McGee's Grimm .

Thank you .
Thank you for your generosity and I'm in for action platformers selection :)
You must be a generous person. Thank you; +1 for the giveaway and for pointing out the LSD in the pie. Not in.


I absolutely love the writing of anthropologist / natural science writer introduction to something called A Voyage to Arcturus.

A Voyage to Arcturus is some kind of unconventional metaphysical sci-fi fantasy that ostensibly takes place on a distant world but really goes down in the interior space. A traditional narrative it is not; it's more a series of bizarre, fevered, visionary Dialogues - I think. I only got up to chapter 7 before I stopped. My e-reader device tells me I stopped at about the time I joined GOG. Mere coincidence or cause and effect? Regardless, this work was influential on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and it compelled famed literary critic Harold Bloom to write a 're-boot' with a Gnostic bent - his only novel, which he has since disowned, which funnily may suggest a similarly dismissible quailty in his criticisms.

I don't think I can recommend the fantasy sci-fi story I never finished. Really, the GOG forums are a far more enjoyably bizarre and visionary thing to behold.
Is Loren Eisley anything like James MItchener?

A sci-fi done very differently and with interesting concepts is SHIKASTA by Doris Lessing.

If you're interested in horror fantasy, Clive Barker is one of my favorite authors, ever. Imajica and Cabal are my first recommendations.
Thank you for the giveaway, trentonlf!
(Not to be mean, but I think that every entrant should thank him. It really irritates me when someone just write "In for X + requirement", omitting any kind of "please" or "thank you". Where are the manners, nowdays?)

I'm really temped to enter for the Fedora Deluxe Pack (alas, out of my budget for now, even when so cheap), but I will not.
Instead, I will say that I am in for Geralt_of_Rivia.

Lately, I read way less than I would like due to overwhelming amounts of legal studies, so rather than pointing out one of my recent reads I will recommend you my all-time favourite "Foundation" series by Asimov, since you said you like sci-fi books.
That series has everything: science, politics, intrigue, space battles... if you can name it, you can find it! ;)
All of that, with Isaac's excellent narrative style!

A real must-have for the esteemers of the genre!
Thank you trentonlf. That's very generous of you!
I'm in for the Hitman pack. It's one of the few I left out from these sales.

Books (in the order I think you will find interesting): Metro 2033 + Metro 2034 (I couldn't put down the book until I finished them)
The Millenium trilogy (by Stieg Larson)
The Emperor's code (by Nikos Kyriazis)
Zeus (by Valerio Masimo Manfredi)
Three men in a boat (by Jerome K. Jerome)
The sorrow of war (by Bao Ninh)
Really nice giveaway trentonlf. I'm not entering but saw this thread and was amazed by your generous spirit for 3 of these bundles. Besides I won a giveaway recently and am happy playing those games when I can. The winners of your giveaway will also be happy for a good while I'm sure.

As to your question, I read The Hot Zone again recently. I bought and read the book back in the 90's when I first heard of this disease called Ebola and the devastating effects it was having in Africa. I remember thinking the world is in trouble if it ever breaks out. Then I promptly forgot about it until the last few months when it resurfaced. Decided to read the book again - its very scary but I'm glad 15-20 years later we have a better handle on this.
