Dungeon Born is one of the best books I have read in a while. This book is written in a light and funny way. For me it was new and fresh, it was the first dungeon type books i read.

Why:
The bobiverse books might not be in a fantasy setting or about a dungeon, but there is something similar there. They are both funny, they build out their domain and power, and they both was once human beings but now are something else.

Wade Watts is a poor teen living with his aunt in the stacks, a trailer park with the trailers stacked atop each other, a place for the poor.

The creator of OASIS, James Halliday, told every one before he died that he had hidden an easter egg inside the game, an whomever finds it first will inherit his entire multi-billion dollar fortune. Wade is among the most dedicated hunters that label themselves as gunters. To find the egg they study the life of Halliday, especially his earlier days in the 80s. When Wade is the first to find the first clue thing takes a nasty turn when he discovers that people are willing to kill him in the real world to get it.

Is it good:
This book is full of pop culture from the 80s, especially the cool nerdy stuff. Sadly I`m a little to young to have experienced the 80s pop culture, but i know some of it, and it is still cool. It is all those references that makes the book shine the most, Ready Player One would be as good without it.

Why:
They are both funny and full of popular culture references.

Martin Banks is a guy with an above normal interest in computers. He loves nothing more than snooping on files he should not have access to. One day he makes an abnormal discovery. He finds a file that changes reality when he edits it. Implying that reality, himself included, is nothing more than an elaborate computer program. Every little tweak he dos to make his life a little easier does not go unnoticed. Rather than face prosecution and trying to explain what he can do, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard.

I love the concept, and the humor story around it is marvelous. If you are afraid of laughing around strangers, then you should probably read it at home. Sadly the third book was a huge disappointment, but the two first are extraordinary.

Do not judge a book by its authors personal views. This is an excellent book, and you should not forego it because of Orson Scott Card stupid personal views.

Similar formula as many military science fiction books, which is a good formula, only among the better of those books. Absolutely worth reading.

It's a while since I read this book, but I remember it as being great. It's a classic in its genre.

God space series if you like that kind of stuff. Nothing special, but acceptable entertainment.

Harry Dresden, a Chicago bound professional wizard, and the only one with an ad in the yellow pages. Business is sadly dreadful, so he jumps on it when the local police bring him in as a consultant on a strange double murder.

Is it good:
The Dresden Files is a must read for anyone with the slightest interest in this gangrene.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu) is a wast space opera. For decades, the two interstellar empires, the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance, has been locked in an interstellar war involving thousands of spaceships and millions of soldiers. This anime is full of drama, political conflicts, and war. It differ by most other animes in that it is based on a sci-fi book series instead of a manga.

Is it good:
This is one of the better animes out there. It's also an anime that I recommend for people who generally do not like animes. However, it is very long and old. Sadly it`s kind of hard to get hold of it legally, at least where I live.

Is it good:
This is an amazing anime. It might be a little long for people who dos not regularly watch animes, but they should still try it. It's a passionate story of two brothers that aim to become astronauts.

This is a great anime. More realistic, even if it is set in the future, and adult than most anime. People that generally dos not like anime might actually like this one.

He joins the crew on Moya ( a living sentient bio-mechanical space ship ) who picked him up after his unfortunate wormhole ride. He has to get to grips with living among alien creatures wielding deadly technology and being hunted by the Peacekeepers, a merciless military race.

Is it good:
This is a cool sciences fiction show, but not the best. I could for some reason not stomach the actor playing John Crichton. I had problems with him when he was on SG-1 also. This is probably just me, and many will likely disagree with me on this. If you have no problems with him, then this show might be pretty good, absolutely worth watching.

Is it good:
I remember I loved it the first time I watched this show. But when I tried to watch it a second time I was bored. However, I still believe it is worth giving this show a try.
