I don't know how much of this can be conveyed through translation, maybe I should pick up a translated version and give it a try. I wish i could read the old chinese version, but i dont know a thing about chinese, my time is kinda taken up with university, a part time job, friends and SC so learning another language isnt really an option right now. Hopefully the translation will still manage to move me. Just wondering, can anyone recomend me more fantasy books, the game of thrones has completely gripped me and ive always been a massive fan of the LOTR books (read the hobbit and LOTR when i was 10 - loved them ever since). Anything similar would be good. | ||

Wanted to wait till after exams to start this so i can actually focus on getting through it without forgetting things from the start (at 2500 pages its not a short one). EDIT: Fucked up the images This is the second book in the series about the silk queen in the east right ? I'm not positive, but if it is, it's an extremely good series, very well written and a good storyline, but can also be a bit long and hard reading at some points. It is also written in some pretty old language. Worth reading, even though you should really start with the first book in the series. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZqXVG.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CNRAE.jpg) Occasionally I'll take a punt on a book thats outside my scope of interest. I did this with the 2 above and they probably rate amongst the best reads of my life. Both know how to spin a good yarn and both opened my eyes soooo much. Can't reccomend highly enough. | ||
