@LunaDeNuit_ I liked I'm Thinking of Ending Things by
Iain Reid.

[Chris Bas (currently querying) @ChrisBas82]

@SteffenJack84 Wow... truth be told, I know these authors by name, but I have never read anything theirs till now. I definitely have to rectify that...😓

[Chris Bas (currently querying) @ChrisBas82]

Dear authors, which book was the catalyst "urging" you to become a writer and why? Personally, The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, because their prose is poetic - enthralling and ever since I've yearned to convey such feelings to readers.

[Chris Bas (currently querying) @ChrisBas82]

@car_a_carn42 And I also noticed you're currently reading Name of the Wind. I'm willing to wager that it will get into your top-ten series, even though The Kingkiller Chronicle hasn't been concluded...(and probably never will be 😭).

[Chris Bas (currently querying) @ChrisBas82]

@car_a_carn42 Solid series all of them! I definitely want to read more of Guy Gavriel's Kay series (I've only read Tigana, which is mind-blowing, and The Fionavar Tapestry which was qood).

@DirtbaggeryBR Ahhh... Legend by David Gemmell. This book has been in my sights for quite some time now...

@AMaskley I've always had nothing but the outmost respect for those authors that managed to draft a 50K novel, whereas personally it takes me at least 1+ year to draft a 95-100K one...😅

@zbogus77 Usually those who have read the Black Company also read Malazan Book of the Fallen series or vice versa. Is that the case for you as well and if yes, what are your thoughts for Malazan?
