I'm currently reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Book two of the The Stormlight Archives.
I'd say the biggest surprises for me would be Patrick Lee. I DEVOURED these books. The Breach, Ghost County, and Deep Sky are a trilogy. They reminded me of X-files crossed with Navy Seals but that doesn't really begin to really describe the books.
I can't believe I got through so much of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The first book was so-so but the story really picked up in the second book. I'm getting to the part of the overall story that people say gets tedious and boring but I haven't experienced this at all yet.
I just finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson a few days ago. It's definitely one of my favorite books of all-time. It may be my favorite fantasy book but I won't know until I try to re-read it. I re-read The Hobbit every year. I never seem to get sick of it. It's going to be hard to knock this off it's thrown but damn is The Way of Kings close!
This is also the first year I've ever read so many works of the same author over and over. I probably won't do it again next year. Except for maybe Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan. I found it was _usually_ harder to get into the writing once I got such a familiar feel of their style and storytelling. This didn't hold true for Sanderson and Jordan they are still blowing me away.
- Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull (Pixar-fame) and The Atlantis Gene by A.G. Riddle (sci-fi'ish)
- Did you like The Atlantis Gene? I've almost pulled the trigger at Amazon a couple times but the reviews seem hit or miss and my reading list is already so long.
