Yeah, at least I'm not the only one here who likes epic fantasy :blush: "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a wonderful series of novels!

So, I am reading three different books right now:

1) "Chainfire" by Terry Goodkind (ninth book of "The Sword of Truth" series)

2) "The Great Hunt" by Robert Jordan (second book of "The Wheel of Time" series)

3) "A Feast for Crows" by George R.R.Martin (fourth book of "A Song of Ice and Fire" series)

Considering how shit hey-ai's members' humor is, I would recommend "The Comic Toolbox", "Step by step to stand-up comedy", and books like that

High Fidelity is pretty good. I like this one short story that he wrote called "Otherwise Pandemonium" for McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales.

I have a hard time recommending books to anyone because I read too much. ><

But one that I always have to mention is "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.

I read it for the first time in high school and it has stuck with me for years since then.

The Intelligent Investor

For those who are into investing like me. Please do not call yourself an investor if u buy low and sell high, u are a trader. Warren Buffett's an investor, so is Bill Gates, day traders are different. And yea, that bugs me a lot.
