I'd recommend some WH40K books. Quite a few of them are post apocalyptic in nature.
Gaunt's Ghosts
Gaunt's Ghosts
GAUNT'S GHOSTS
GAUNT'S GHOSTS
Ciaphas Cain's pretty awesome, too. Yes, I am a Guard man.
Blood Angels > Imperial Guard. Except for Gaunt's Ghosts ofc.
I'd highly recommend
Titanicus
, the afore mentioned Blood Angels duology and the Ravenor series. I haven't read the Eisenhorn yet, but I'd like to.
E: Also,
The Lurker at the Threshold
is so much better than
At the Mountains of Madness
.

The Lurker at the Threshold
is absolutely masterful.
Also, Grey Knights was my first 40k series. I couldn't figure out what the @#$% any of it was. I highly recommend Gaunt's Ghosts. The Blood Angels is good, and has a very unique plot for 40k, besides "go here shoot that."

Lol. I was able to get right into most of the 40k literature, because I just read up on the lore a lot. I'm probably the biggest a 40k fan can be without owning any miniatures...except the good-luck Commissar I keep on my desk. =P
You don't have any?
Granted, I read all the literature for about two years before I bought any figures =P
Blood Angels army ftw!

Oof. Guards = Horde army, which means lots of figures. Granted, most are plastic, so you can squeak by.
<3 my Blood Angels Death Company. First figures I got. Full metal, painted black with red chainswords and bolters... /nerdgasm.

So, I've been reading "River God" by Wilbur Smith. An excellent historical fiction novel about ancient Egypt. I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is , although supposedly it's pretty accurate, but I don't have the knowledge to confirm or dispute that.
It's compulsively readable and travels at a fairly steady pace, even if Taita is a canon-sue.

, but w/e, i'm excited.
QFT.
Anyways, am I the only one looking forward to the return of Tyrion Lannister and John Snow? Like seriously, Tyrionw as the best part, and when he kind of vanished all through
A Feast for Crows
I was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

So, I'm not American, nor do I live in an English speaking country but I read the series "Eragon". Anybody got some information on when the 4th is gonna hit stores?

Trust me, I've been waiting 3 years for it.
No news other than he hasn't finished writing it yet, no book title, no cover, nothing.
Yet he still expects a 2011 release.

Damn. Not even a title yet.

Meh, I didn't like them too much. I just hate Eragon as a character, and Roran's OPness.
But dwarves = awesome. And Christopher likes dwarves, so I like his books.

Eragon is fricking annoying
Roran is just a fanboi's dream
Arya is cringeworthy
Oromis is dead :(
Angela is good
The dwarves are good
Nasuada is excellent
