That is exactly why i recommend it to all of you . It seems to have the best language suitable for everyone, not to mention the way of writing xD !!!

Finished reading Dan brown Angels and demons, a few days ago! Pretty neat, book, and a good read, It got a little boring for about 50 pages or so, but then it got interesting! The book had its twist and turns, and the end was suprising! It was predictable at some parts though. Overall, a decent book and well-worth the read!

For those interested in fantasy books here are some I really enjoyed:

David Eddings : the belgariad series,mallorean series, tamuli and the best one Belgarath the Sorcerer. Good fast paced books and very interesting initially but once you read more of them they all seem to be very similar and a little boring.

Terry Brooks: The Shannara series

Tolkein: Hobbit is the best for starters and if you like it then read lotr and The Silmarillion

And for younger readers or if you just need to pass time read the Dragonlance series and the Forgotten Realms books. I really loved the dragonlance books when i was in school.
Also if you have played games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate or other D&D games you will recognize a lot of characters and places from these books.

There is one book which has no Parallel....Kane & Abel by Jeffrey Archer.....Two Men with nothing in common except their birthday are destined to destroy - and save- each other. Great Novel

Thread is dead lets revive it
I recently read:
SEVENTH SCROLL by WILBUR SMITH what a piece of writing man I just loved it AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I JUST LOVE IT IT S SUPERB. It's like National treasure but is far more interesting....It has every genre. Romance, Comedy, Echhi,ACTION, MYstery every thing u need..... I'll give it 10/10

Now reading THE QUEST by Wilbur Smith bought it for 1200 from liberty books. Read about 250 pages It's good but it's not as good as Seventh scroll...It s realistic and has only fictinol content of only magic which is thought to be real in 5000 years ago... It's good adventure novel I'll give it 9/10

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
