anyone have a recommendation for a good book or series of books?

at the moment, feel like something historical fiction or non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi or in any way generally thought provoking...

-slides in, real smooth-

The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix is a really good fantasy/spec-fic sequence of books. I have a tattoo from the series because I love it so much.

my best pitch of it is usually "ok so one of the main characters is a librarian, necromancer and has a magic pet dog who is a little bit sarcastic and the necromancy is controlled by bells."

It's a very good series.

@Darksabre oh, what a reminder! i read Sabriel and Lirael but somehow i don't think i read Abhorsen at all.
something happened and disrupted the flow of my reading, i guess. i have such an urge to read them now, from the beginning.
*sneakily bumps sabriel to the top of the pile*

btw, that is surely the best pitch for any book, ever!

@bright_moon

Yeah! There's Abhorsen, Over the Wall, Clariel and Goldenhand that you gotta catch up on.

So terribly sorry that you have so many cool books to read.

@Darksabre so not sorry at all. just super impatient.

@bright_moon

I mean.

maybe.

@Darksabre lost my reply there... problems with divided attention. I'm currently flicking through poetry while studying.
I would read for the majority of the day if I could get away with it and I have so many books to catch up on. I'll have a busy summer I think.
