    What kinds of books? Anything good? I'm always on the lookout for fantasy books to dive into (though other genres are fine too).

    As for me, I've been playing a ton of Heroes of the Storm lately, so I haven't been on XIV much at all anyway. I had planned to do some PVP tonight, but this thread reminded me that there's maintenance so scrap that haha. More HotS it is!

    The Discworld series is fantastic. Just sad there won't be anymore of them.

    I like light fantasy rather than the more heavy stuff, but I can give a few of my favorite books as recommendations:

    1. American Gods - Neil Gaiman. They just made it into a TV show, so now is a good time to read the book.

    2. A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore. A beta nerd gets turned into a grim reaper of sorts. Shenanigans ensue. Very funny and touching read. (I also love his book, Lamb. Who knew he could make the lost years of Jesus so funny?)

    3. The Dark Jewels trilogy - Anne Bishop. A bit grim with some light touches. It's a more feminine fantasy series.

    4. Ready Player One - Ernst Cline. A story about a guy who wants to live in an MMO and win a contest to take over the entire thing for finding Easter Eggs. Not the best written book, but a fun read. Soon to be a movie.

    5. Deep Secret - Diana Wynne Jones. Magic and alternate worlds collide at a fantasy convention.
