I've read the first, Fall of Giants. It was ok, he used perhaps a few to many random coincidences that wouldn't be particularly feasible in order to tie the story together more. For me it's his Cathedral based series that I really enjoyed. Pillars of the Earth and World Without End (I think that's it). Again he's one of those authors that meticulously researches things, especially for those books.
I know why you mean with the too many coincidences, and I think it is just a license that he uses for completion, which I feel acceptable. I am not really bothered by them, as he tries to justify them as much as he can. Of course it gets a bit suspicious, but after all it is not real life...

Also, the bold part is spot on. It just feels so complete and plausible a story

I just started Gardens of the Moon from the Malazan series. I know people say it's hard to get into, but fuck, nothing is explained. What the hell is the deck? How do Warrens work? Many other questions, but between trying to figure things out, it is a pretty solid book so far.

Might check out The Prince by Machiavelli from my college's library at some point.

I'm nearly through book 4 of Game of Thrones. I enjoyed reading of Arya again. It is not a bad book compared to the second book for example, I still hope book 5 becomes much better. :D

After that I'll start reading the Sharpe's series, I got all those books here at home. :D

Not having my laptop available (and thus not being able to play cRPG), I have started rereading the aSoIaF series, hopefully Uni does not swarm me more than it already has an I do not have to drop it.
@overdriven: enjoy it

I just started reading Infinite Jest. It's a little daunting, though I guess it's not quite Ulysses.

Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.
