Book suggestion?
« on: July 15, 2012, 12:16:49 PM »
I recently finished American Gods and I pretty much ran out of stuff to read. I checked out some stuff in the bookstore, but most of it seemed like about love and stuff. I don't like romance. Maybe a bit of sprinkle of romance, but not to the point where the characters are obsessed with each other. (You know what I'm talking about.) I like novels where there's a connection to mythology and it's incorporated to a modern theme. Maybe Percy Jackson or American Gods, as mentioned above. And maybe fantasy.

So... uh... yeah.

That's an option. But I tried to search in our local bookstore. All they had was American Gods. :|

I could try ebooks, though.

Yeah. What I sometimes go is look to the sections "People also bought" at Amazon and sites like that.

Problem is, sometimes the books are completely unrelated by genre. :|

Possibly. Have you read it, though? I'm asking based on the replier's suggestion.

Exactly. :P

I have the full series, but I haven't cracked them open even once. You know why. :P
But I'll be sure take a look.

Maybe you should check books of writers you like.

Same / Similar advice =P?

But some writers don't always write in the same genre so don't get your hopes to high up there.

Good writers write good books, that's more important than genre.
