    Default I'm looking for some real nerdy books to read.

    Fantasy. With real mature situtations. Lots of action. Written within the decade or so, I have trouble getting into books written 30 years ago.

    I'll keep it simple, just give me some of the books you've read similar to what Im looking for and that you enjoyed, and I'll rep ***** you. Even if its not within my interests.

    Hey thanks guys.

    (All fantasy series btw)
    The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It's pretty long so it'll keep you going for a while.
    Pretty dark and gretty, with plenty of mature material.

    Also Brent Weeks, The Night Angel Trilogy.
    Like Sword of Truth, quite dark and gretty, and gets pretty graphic at times.

    A classic is The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Not as dark as the others, but plenty of pretty extreme action.
    True fans will probably be afronted by this, but I consider this the Dragonball Z of fantasy books just for the share amount of over the top action in it.

    I loved that series. It was great. I'll look into the others.
