Also for the fantasy lovers out there, the final Wheel of Time book was released earlier this year so now is a good time to start. One of the greatest series of books I've read. I recommend it to everyone, but especially if you're into sword-and-magic epics. It isn't flawless, but once I had started reading it I had to keep going and going and going. As my dad would say, it's a good yarn.
Plus there are like 14 books and they're all massive so it'll keep you occupied for a good while.
