I have taken almost a year long break from reading fiction to focus on non-fiction. I am ready to start reading fiction again, but after such a long break I have no idea where to start.

Here are some books I have enjoyed in the past:

  • Dragon's Egg (Robert L. Forward)
  • The Damned Trilogy (Alan Dean Foster)
  • Mage Errant series (John Bierce)
  • Cradle series (Will Wight)
  • Gods of Blood and Powder (Brian Mckellan)
  • The Spiral Wars (Joel Shepard)
  • Basically everything Brandon Sanderson has written

Tanith Lee.

Neil Gaiman stole his style and most of his best ideas from her.

"Red As Blood" is a short story collection where the princesses are the evil ones. Cinderella is a witch and Snow White is a vampire.

"Night's Master" is an Arabian Nights-style story of a demon prince who loves to seduce and/or torture humans.
