Sir, you are mistaken. The Sword of Truth is the best series ever.

I'm reading Heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad, i love this book. Apocalypse now was adapted on this book, even if the place, the period etc are not the same. But there is the same dark spirit, in the same syle than the Cormac Macarthy writing.
Someone know Robert Charles Wilson ? He's actually the best SF living writer for me.

Don't read much, but the last book I read was The power of now by Eckhart Tolle. It's really good, and how people should be. I highly recommend this to everybody.
