I've been searching high and low for a good book to read. Usually, I just go to Books-A-Million and grab a book with an interesting cover. If the description is intriguing I'll buy it. This is how I started reading gay romance, unfortunately for my straight friends since I'm hooked now and they find it disgusting. Anyway, I was wondering if you could recommend any urban fantasy, fantasy or horror books for me to read that I might find at BAM. I would be forever grateful to all of you.

I also have no idea if this is in the right place to begin with.

Dang, I'm stupid. Didn't even see the rec list right above my post. Sorry. But I was wondering since there is a list can someone recommend me more books that are not on the list?

I'm shocked to see Jim Butcher and the Dresden books aren't on that reccommended list! For Urban Fantasy that's a great place to start! A fabulous voice. The series starts with Storm Front.

Joe Abercrombie - An epic fantasy trilogy starting with The Blade Itself - extremely popular.

The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch. Not everyone's cup of tea, but a good con caper / mannerpunk example notheless.

As for more classic stuff that's not on the list - try The Chronicles of Morgaine by CJ Cherryh.

I'll post some more when I think of them

I was going to suggest this one as well.

Also...

A Cavern of Black Ice - JV Jones - Typical fantasy work but really very good. Jones writing has gotten much stronger since last I read her with The Book of Words series.

Ghosts in the Snow - Tamara Siler Jones - Fantasy mystery type stuff. Very cool and it gets better with each book...three out now beginning with Ghosts.

The first place anyone should look for book recommendations around here is always the AW Library.

Victoria Strauss, and James D MacDonald have some very, very impressive publications.

I'm reading the Dresden Files already and it's getting really good. I was reading Grave Peril but I can't find it now. Thank you all for the recommendations. I'll be sure to grab them when I get the chance.
