  My first Heroic Fantasy cycle was Forgotten Realms .. I read almost full of them (at least 75 on 90) I liked a lot Elminster story and more again Drizz't do Urden adventures!

  Terry goodkind did good job  too .

Flowers for Algernon by Keyes (i made a translation of french title so sorry )

"Dying inside" & "The man in the labyrinth'(don t find the english name in Amazon)"Nightfall "of Silverberg

"Le vieux de la montagne" french edition no english it seems by Freidoune Sahebjam

"The Art of the War" Sun Tzu
"The book of five rings" Musashi
"Musashi" by Eiji YOshikawa

Anything by Michael Chabon and Malcolm Gladwell suits vacations well, I think.

Alternatively, Fool and Christopher Moore's other books are all light, funny reads perfect for the middle of nowhere.

There's also Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned which is a stimulating book of short stories. A lot of them work to bring on some serious meditation. You know, the sort of thing you can just pick up while sitting on a rock, watch the sunset, read a single story, and go to sleep satisfied.

I am in the middle of Hyperion. Very good book imho if you like sf with some religion element.

Dan Simmons is amazing. If you enjoy that series, check out Ilium and Olympus. Where Hyperion references a lot of things popular in 90s subculture movements and classic literature, Ilium and Olympos does the same with the Iliad and Shakespeare. He's also got The Terror which is terrifying in a distinct Victorian way, without any of the trappings of the horror of that time.

Ape and essence, one of the best I've ever read, Galapagos is also pretty neat. If you got a decent amount of time on your hands consider Crime and Punishment.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
