Meme time! This one's from narakus_miasma.
MEME: If you comment on this post, I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.
asoiaf- A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy books. One of things I like best about them is that each book has several viewpoint characters. Some of the viewpoint characters are from distant factions- there's one of them in each important place, I think.
george r.r. martin- The author of the above series.
westeros- The continent the story of ASoIaF revolves around.
suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu- In English, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.
the tawny man- A fantasy trilogy by Robin Hobb. It is the sequel to the Farseer trilogy, which is about a bastard prince raised as assassin. These books have given me one of my favorite fictional characters ever (and it's not the protagonist).
liveship traders- Also by Robin Hobb, Liveship Traders is yet another trilogy that chronologically takes place between the Farseer trilogy and Tawny Man. It's set in the same world, but in a different country and has an entirely different set of characters, so it's a stand-alone trilogy. However, all three trilogies make a bit more sense if read in chronological order. (Geez, a trilogy of trilogies!)
dragaera- Yet more fantasy books. XD Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series is set in the world of Dragaera, in the Draegaran Empire. Dragaerans are a long lived people, and humans are second class citezans. The main character is a mobster and assassin (yes, another assassin...but a very, very different character! XD). The series has lots of Spiffy Stuff. There are also the Khaavren Romances, which are written as if the author is a Draegaran writing historical fiction in the style of The Three Musketeers.
