salutations

Unread post

Hello everyone!

My name is Robert and I am 24 years old. I am about to start graduate school for a master's in international studies. I never really developed an aptitude for reading, besides the occasional fantasy novel (Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis being my favorite authors), but I really want to try and change that. I have a lot to be thankful for so I just want to try and push myself to become a more well-read individual.

Anyways, I look forward to our future discussions! Thank you to the creators and supporters of this website.

Welcome to BookTalk.org :)

I suppose if you're going to read only one genre fantasy is the best choice. Do I sound biased? LOL Fantasy is my favorite genre by far.

Welcome. I have just started reading fantasy within the past year or two. I am currently reading The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Since I don't know a lot about the genre, I am always looking for recommendations. Are there any good fantasies with strong female main characters? Just wondering what you think.

Actually, to finish off my favorite series of books in the Dragonlance series, Margaret Weis wrote the Dark Disciple Trilogy. The main character is a female and I found the three books, Amber and Ashes, Amber and Iron, and Amber and Blood all to be good reads. If you like them, I highly recommend backtracking a bit and reading from the beginning of the series, starting with the Dragonlance Chronicle's Dragon of Autumn Twilight.

Someone gifted the beginning of the series to me awhile ago, but I have not yet had a chance to read them. I think I might give it a shot and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation.
