I've decided to decease my internet time and blue light exposure, buy an ebook reader, and get used to finishing the day with some reading, instead of all the other things that give me insomnia.
What /tg/-related books have you been reading anon, or what you think what other people should read too?
I've read Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit before I knew what the hell ttrpgs even were. Same with the original Dragonlance books. I was thinking of picking up Elric of Melnibone and Original Conan the Barbarian. Already read and enjoyed Eisenhorn, most of the Slayer books with Gotrek, first 1.5 of the Black Company books. And dear god I haven't read books for fun in so long, what have I been doing?

As a paper loving luddite, don't forget your local library. You can find a bunch of great fantasy there for free. Elric and Conan are foundational sword and sorcery, definitely a good call. I'd also recommend Gardens of the Moon by Steven Eriksson (first of ten volumes but it stands alone). Fantastic worldbuilding and overall really good prose for a fantasy novel. At the library, I recently grabbed the Dragonbone Throne by Tad Williams, which is next on my list. I think it's a bit more traditional high fantasy.

In terms of scifi/fantasy books:Gideon the Ninth is about necromancers in space who serve an immortal emperor that was a scientist that figured out necromancy and they consider to be their god because he brought everyone on Earth back to life after a global catastrophe killed everyone who couldn't flee... and then he declared war on all of the cowards that fled the planet instead and left everyone there to die and wages a war of revenge against them to this day. 3 books so far, a 4th on the way.Depending on your tastes, Brandon Sanderson is prolific and does a lot of stuff focused on learning, exploring, and exploiting magic systems linked by a common cosmology. Start with Mistborn, if you like it keep going if you don't stop.Anything set in Discworld is good, but honestly the first couple of books in it are week because they started off as short stories and only later got melded together into a book that pretends to be a long form narrative. Pick up something in the middle, like Guards! Guards!, and this turns out to be your jam then you can always go back and read the earlier stuff now that you are invested.Empire of the Vampire has a cringe name, and is somewhat amatuerish in writing sometimes, but has excellent vampire lore worth stealing if you like that sort of thing.The Lies of Locke Lamora is about a group of criminals inventing the idea of the long con in alchemeical fantasy Venice. 3 books, probably will never get continued but an excellent read full of neat ideas even so.I enjoyed The Name of the Wind but since the third book is about as dead as Winds of Winter its hard to recommend now. Two books of setup with no third book of payoff.The Gone-Away World, by Nick Harkaway, is... very interesting. I genuinely can't tell you anything about it, and I don't want you to look it up ahead of reading it, because its something you want to go into completely blind. Spoilers would change how you read the story.

Seconding Conan, there is that one big anniversary book compiling all of the original, unedited short stories. Got Elric on my reading pile.Fritz Lieber Fafhrd and the Gray MouserDiscworld. I did have trouble reading too much of them back to back, the series is separated into different pov, recommedning the Guards & Witches novel+Small GodsThis summer, I've read+got the audiobooks for Blacktongue Thief and The Daughter Wars by Christopher Buelhman; opinions are pretty split on them, but I liked it quite a lot, deemed grimderp by some and I'll admit that it can be edgy at times, but I found both novel to have some very touching moment and cool worldbuilding ideas here and there.I heard good things about the First Law trilogy, got myself the audiobook but didn't get to start them out.Some stuff I do NOT recommend

-Priest of Bones
-Legend of the Seeker
-Orcs by stan nicholls

Creatures of Light & Darkenss by Zelazney is a lot of fun in a mythoppetic scifantasy way. Lords of Light is cleaner as a book but less interesting imo.
CJ Cherry's Sunfall collection of shorts is neat for various post apocalytic bits. Same for the Dying Earth series by Jack Vance.
The Melancholy of Mechagirl is a solid set of postcyperpunk stuff. The Windup Girl by Bagliupican'tspellhisname is fun too.
The Name of the Rose by Emberto Eco is a solid read about changing medieval faiths and the unknown. From the Mouth of the Whale by Sjón.
is good too, closer to wars of religion era but a neat character study. The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickensen is fantasy but also a good political piece, skip the sequels (in general good advice t b h). Naked Lunch is a thing if you want to actually learn about gonzo. Tsotsi by Fugard is interesting for ghettos and crime. Red Harvest by Hammett is classic while we're on crime, it more or less built the foundation of 'wandering badass with mixed morals'. Jean Genet's novel Querelle is gay sailor crime at its best. Heart of Darkness by Conrad if you haven't read it is key for exploration and how difficult it is being the one out there. Shelly's Frankenstein and/or The Last Man, Beowulf the old english and Grendel by John Gardner for monsters and what they're up to. The Iliad if you haven't.
That'll probably keep you busy for a while.
Seconding the Mervin Peak Gormenghast series, even the third one.
Pick through appendix N too, lots of good stuff there.

Wheel of Time is worth the read if you can deal with its issues. It has a fair share of The Author's Thinly Disguised Fetish and the middle of the series isn't called The Slog among fans for no reason, but it has a rich magic system and a lot of compelling characters.I'm on the second book of the Malazan series currently. I really enjoy it so far, though it is a little hard to get into as there are tons of characters and you feel like you're starting out in the middle of a series as opposed to the beginning. I think it makes for richer worldbuilding but it can be confusing.I do not recommend In the Name of the Wind. The first book is an excellent start, but then the second reads like bad fanfiction and the third book is never, ever coming out.I enjoyed the Witcher novel series, though they're a bit pulpy.Stephen King's Dark Tower series is a more nodern fantasy work if that's something you're into. Definitely worth reading, although the ending is incredibly divisive.I think next on my list is Black Company or the works of LeGuin. I also have Pillars of Earth on my radar but that's not fantasy.

Finished the Book of the New Sun about a month ago. Probably the best modern fiction I've ever read. I'd love to simulate what he has in TTRPGs but that's a lot easier said than done.
I recently started the War of the Spider Queen series. Book one and two are good so far, nearly done with book two. They're lot of fun and surprisingly well written. A far cry from Gene Wolfe's writing but a lot easier to read.
I read Sabriel by Garth Nix after Kelsey Dionne recommended it. It's fine. It's basically in line with Harry Potter in terms of writing and structure. I wouldn't recommend it personally.
Robert Howard, Lovecraft, and Moorcock are all great. Fritz Leiber and the Witcher guy seem really overrated to me personally but they often get called out as equals of the above d

The Black Company is easily my favorite fantasy novel series of all time. I've read it dozens of times--about once a year. I started in the 90s. The next book in it comes out this November. I remember when She Is The Darkness came out in a limited run and you simply could not find a copy. This was before any omnibus release. The only copy I managed to secure was a machine translation of the Russian edition. Musta been in 2001 or something, and I downloaded it on limewire or kazaa. Was terrible and nearly unreadable.And now, the series is widely hailed as a masterpiece and there are countless beautiful editions available, including this gorgeous, lettered edition by Midworld Press. Printed and sewn on gorgeous paper, hand signed w/ the pencil sketches by the artists... was it worth $600? Well, I've already paid for volume 2 that was supposed to be shipped Summer 2024 and am anxiously awaiting it. So yes: yes I think it was.

I can't stand The Name of the Wind, and I'm always shocked when people recommend it. Patrick Rothfus and Brandon Sanderson are terrible writers, and they produce wish-fulfilment garbage for dorks.
Their writing appeals to the kinds of mongrels that read light novel adaptations. To this day, The Name of the Wind is the only fantasy novel I ever sat down to read that was so bad it actually made me fucking angry. Brandon Sanderson's stuff is just bland, boring, for autists, and has no real point to any of it.

The original Conan stories are all fantastic, definitely read those when you can. Some other series/books I've read and highly recommend:
>The Black Company: Series about a mercenary company in a grim dark world working for the bad guys.
>Gormenghast: Series about events going on nearly entirely within a massive, ancient castle bound by strict customs. Phenomenal prose, characters, action, humor, suspense, all around amazing read. Just read the first two novels, the third one was released posthumously and unfinished.
>Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser: Adventures of a barbarian and rogue. Similar vibe to OG Conan, but slightly more light-hearted (not in a bad way).
>The Eyes of the Overworld: Pulp fantasy novel about trickster bastard who gets in trouble with a wizard and sent on an arduous journey of misadventures. Part of Vance's Dying Earth series; I like this one the most.
>The Prince of Nothing series: Without giving too much away, a series about a jihad, a wizard and a whore in love, a lunatic barbarian on a mission to kill his former gay lover, petulant royalty, hyperintelligent monks, and Geigeresque murder rape demons. I'm currently working my way through the sequel series, The Aspect-Emperor, and it is similarly great.
>A Song of Ice and Fire: I never watched the shows, but after reading the books I can see why the series is so popular.

>do androids dream of electric sheep
fantastic book, cant reveal too much of what happens because it will ruin the unexpected turns you’ll run into. very curious science fiction book.
>The art of war
handbook for generals/field marshals. written roughly 4000 years ago but the principles outlined in the book are still used in modern warfare. Great read for understanding basic large scale military tactics if you need it for worldbuilding or just want a better understanding of war. It’s strictly about methodology and leaves reasons or justifications for war aside, a good general doesn’t worry about those.
>Annihilation
Great modern take on cosmic horror. Takes place from the perspective of a biologist that goes with a team to research a zone on earth where reality seems to be unraveling.
>enders game
a book on leadership and the psychology of what makes a good general. Its a science fiction book about the aftermath of a future war necessitating a program where children are raised to be leaders and strategic masterminds. Great read.

Sea of Rust by Robert Cargill is good, its a post apocalypse novel told from the point of view of the sentient robots that destroyed humanity. Good world building, and fun characters make this a gold mine for ideas. I've pretty much pulled the titular Sea of Rust form the novel wholesale for a game of Ashes without Number that I'm working on.the Blood on the Stars series by Jay Allan is good, a space opera series that has a long story line and well written characters. There's a relatively recent spinoff series about the main characters love interest.Jay Allan also does the Far Stars books, which is gold if you're running anything like Traveler. Main character is an OC donut steel Marty stu, but the background of the Far Stars sector itself, how it relates to the Empire, and the machinations of the main villain make up for it in spades.Christopher Rowley's Battledragon series is worth a read, it involves a tale of good vs evil in a medieval fantasy world, where the good guys have these Dragons, attended to by their Dragon boys (orphans the kingdom takes in, and who are paired with their dragon from when the dragon is hatched), who act as squires.Jason Anspach has a couple of series, Galaxy's Edge is military sci Fi, and the Forgotten Ruin series, which is literally "Lord of the Rings if a US Army Ranger battalion showed up". I've read the first two novels of Galaxies Edge, and have enjoyed that, and I have Forgotten Ruin I just haven't gotten around to reading it.The novelizations of the Zombicide board game are pretty good, I really enjoy the Black Plague series so far, and Planet Havoc is a fun read.

"Grog" by RW Krpoun may be worth taking a look at. Not super unique fantasy about a "Brute" (basically a Half-Orc) Gladiator bought, then freed and hired, by a cleric troubleshooter hunting cults and undead.

Three Stigmata has impressive range and has some signature time manipulation paradoxes that I think was very well balanced.

I just read The King in Yellow, thought it was good. The last story being a straight up rom-com threw me for a loop, especially since there was a war story 2 before it.Starship Troopers is a good time. Very hoo-rah manly men doing manly things.The Forever War is on my shelf, I'm going to try to get to it soon. But Heart of Darkness and The Count of Monte Cristo are also waiting for attention.Right now I'm reading Strange Houses and it's fun. The translation is written in a very light and easy to digest style, most of the book is dialog and it's pretty snappy. It frequently refers to drawings and diagrams as the plot revolves around them.I loved 813, but Im not sure it would be as good if you don't read LeBlanc's other stories before.

What are good collections of short fantasy stories? Or low-stakes fantasy too. I'm tired of long, epic tales always about defeating and evil lord.

I believe that I heard of one series called the “Twenty-Sided Sorceress” at one point that looked cool, never actually read it though.

If you're gonna read Elric then I sugguest you read most of the eternal champion.
I'd Sugguest
John Daker's Books, Hawkmoon's books, Definitley all of Elric, as well as Prince Corum.
Some other fucker in the thread mentioned discworld, do that too. Those books are fantastic. They are Peak.
