    I wholeheartedly second the A Song of Ice and Fire reccomendation. IN the five years since I discovered the author, they're still the books I reccomend most.
    First book is A Game of Thrones.

    If you like George RR Martin's stuff, you should check out Steven Erikson's books (the Malazan series), while you wait for GRRM to finish his next one in the series.

    I think you might like books by Paul Arden:

    -It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be: The World's Best Selling Book

    -Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite

    -God Explained in a Taxi Ride

    They are rather "fun" books to read, not as "preachy" as what the titles have suggested.

    Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer I've actually read the first 4 books of the malazan series. I enjoy those books occasionally, and the width of the scope is great, but I wouldn't say I'm a great fan.
    Are you familiar with Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing?

    Most of you have shitty taste. You might as well sit about watching Power Rangers all day for the things that you read.

    Are there any books involving self-hating surrealist nihilists that you could recommend? Or possibly books where nothing bad ever happens, and the characters are so perfect they send you into a self-hating nihilistic gloom?

    I know you have read basically every book ever written on the human condition, which must mean you are an extremely nice and perceptive person.

    The fact that you don't read anything even remotely intelligent shows.
