Atm iām into the Harry Potter series.(again. 
)
Before that i had a long run with Wodehouse, Pratchett and Crighton. Different styles and genres ,but ever so funny and satisfying. Allthough Chrighton is more non fiction ,for most of his works.
The Dune series are very good too. Having read the first 2, iā m going to back for the others.

Currently reading through the Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones) after having watched the tv show a few years ago.
The first book is quite similar to the tv show, but Iāve heard that later books feature some differences. In any case, I really like the writing style, it reads very easily!

I am just about at the end of the fifth book, been a bit of the marathon.
Not watched the TV series so not able to comment on the differences, but I have heard others say that there is, I suppose that is inevitable.
Must confess there are so many secondary characters that I tended to loose track.

Itās been a while since my las fiction book 
.
The latest years Iāve been reading about productivity, personal finances, and computer programming (and books about training my cat 
).
But inspired by the food for thought about āThe Music Mapā I started a book about the history of Heavy Metal 
. And Iām reading again āClean Codeā a book about programming.
Now Iām doubting about picking up a book about fitness. A do it at home kind of routine for someone isnāt fit . I could use any suggestion on this topic

about ~20% into Jade City now and it does not disappoint. Itās a fantasy story set in a fictional world that is analogous to post WW2 Asia (City seems to be an amalgamation of many major cities in east asia). Follows a crime family similar to mafia, yakuza, or triads with powers. Really good stuff.
This sounds interesting, whatās the title?

Itās a Book in Spanish, the title is āEso no estaba en mi libro de historia del Heavy metalā which means more or less āThat was not in my Heavy metal history bookā. Y have another one but in English. Iāll let you know if is any good

Very mixed feelings with those. I feel my time reading them has been in part a waste, whole books could have been skipped. Whole character stories etc. I might go back if by some miracle the story is resolved in some long awaited final book(s).
Jumped into Lord of the rings at the weekend, long time since I have read it

After reading the Cradle series by Will Wight, I got spun off down a huge rabbit hole of Cultivation and Xianxia stories. āI Shall Seal the Heavensā, āA Will Eternalā and so on. From there I got sidetracked into LitRPG and progression fantasy more generally, had a good time with stuff like āMother of Learningā, āHe Who Fights With Monstersā, āDungeon Crawler Carlā.
Now Iām back to more typical western epic fantasy with the āA Pattern of Shadow and Lightā series by Melissa McPhail. Itās good, if you like your fantasy big and complicated. Which I do 
āMalazan Book of the Fallenā fans should be pretty well set up to enjoy this series (@DavidP)

Have you checked out āThomas Covenantā by Stephen R Donaldson? If not and you engage, prepare for a long read, they are incredible books, all nine.

Iāve never heard of it but now itās on my lists. Iāve read lots of long series including all 30 of Raymond Feists Riftwar cycle so Iām not a afraid of the book count.
Just want you to know David that you reminded me that I havenāt read the Death discworld books in a while. Inspired, I went ahead and bought new copies for my collection. I got the covers that match my copy of Small Gods:

Lots of reading going on here! Iāve read quite a few of these series over the years, GoT, Stephen Donaldsonās Thomas Covenant, Feist, First Law Trilogy. Totally agree with @Kasper on Feist, as I got older it got less appealing.
One series (a series of series) I found really good are the Assassinās series from Robin Hobb. Multiple trilogies from different perspectives in the same world. She also wrote the Soldier Son Trilogy, which is also pretty good.
Most recently I read Steven Kingās Dark Tower series. Kind of a blend of fantasy & sci fi. Some parts were really good, others it dragged a bit. As seems typical. Iād like to say Iām reading the wheel of time series now. Having another go at it after I put it down part way through years ago. Although Iām honestly not really reading it, Iām on book 2 and itās a bit slow. Takes a lot of effort to read in parts so itās not super compelling.

a big +1 for this, brilliant writing
This series was a huge disappointment for me, I started reading it as a teenager and the first book totally hooked me, I was obsessed with it. By the time I got to book 6 I just couldnāt bring myself to turn any more pages. Fans of the series refer to the middle chunk of books as āThe Great Slogā and admit that itās painfully slow. They insist that it gets totally great again if you can make it through the Slog but Iām not about to grind through 3000 pages in my leisure time reading some of the dullest fiction ever composed, just in the hopes that it might get good again at some point down the road. Thereās so many wonderful authors out there to read who donāt suffer from Jordanitis.

Iāve just begun the latest entry in the āCork OāConnorā murder mystery series, āFox Creek.ā Iāve read every book in the series. Kruegerās character development really makes you feel like you know the people, and the books are hard to put down.

I loved that series and I thought it one of the best endings I have ever read (after Primal Fear).

Well that makes me want to just give it up. When there are so many great books and series out there that are not a drag. Not sure why Wheel of Time is so highly rated then.
Existential crisis? 
Donāt want to spoil it for anyone that reads it.

Right? And pretty cheap too, they started making these (I think they call them the collectors library collection) in 2014 and just finished them in 2021. I got these for like $15 each, not bad at all.

I love fantasy and sci-fi, but Iām currently working my way through the Stephen Attebrook series of medieval mysteries by Jason Vail. Really enjoying them. Prior to that, and in a similar kind of vein, though a different time period, I completed the Damian Seeker series by S.G. MacLean - very good, gritty historical fiction. I never thought Iād enjoy reading these kind of books, but you never know what youāre going to stumble across in L Space do you
