So, thankfully RPGers are one of the subcultures I've always enjoyed because most of us are literate. I read voraciously. Both my parents were readers, and some of my earliest memories are looking up at bookshelves. I'll pretty much read anything, but prefer sci/fi and fantasy. I particularly like sci/fi that explores the moving target of morality as technology impacts a society.
Books I like:
Hyperion/Endymion books - Dan Simmons
Dune series - Frank Herbert
Mordant's Need series - Stephen R. Donaldson
Belgariad / Mallorean series - David Eddings
Zone of Thought series - Vernor Vinge
ANYTHINGZ WRITTEN - Larry Niven
Dragon Prince & Exiles series - Melanie Rawn
most anything - Orson Scott Card
most anything - Brian Lumley
anything - Katherine Kurtz
'Jhereg' series - Stephen Brust
So that's the short list. What entertains/inpsires you?
