Have you read the Myst series? They are by Rand Miller.Originally Posted by MagicNakor
The Book of Atrus, The Book of Ti'ana, and The Book of D'ni.
Yeah, I read those a while ago. Few years, I think.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
I highly recommend the works of Robert Rankin, MN.
See if you can get his Armageddon trilogy to start with.
Armageddon the musical
They came and ate us - Armageddon II - The B movie
The suburban book of the dead - Armageddon III
Rankin is a technophobe who writes in the pub using a biro and exercise books.
His writing is a hilariously irreverent mix of religious parody, Arthurian legend, urban myth, comic science fiction/fantasy, crap puns and running gags.
He's recognized as the world's foremost writer of the tall tale, and has been called 'the drinking man's H.G. Wells'.
I look forward to his latest work as much as I do Pratchett's.
Heck, if it turns out you enjoy reading Rankin half as much as I do, we'll have something new to talk about in here...

How about the "Black Company" series by Cook, MN?
1 _The Black Company_
2 _Shadows Linger_
3 _The White Rose_
4 _The Silver Spike_
5 _Shadow Games_
6 _Dreams of Steel_
7 _Bleak Seasons_
8 _She is the Darkness_
9 _Annals of the Black Company_
If you liked the grittier military history type fantasy of Feist in the Serpent War series, you'll love Glen Cook.
Cheers,
How about the series by Stephen Donaldson.
THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER
Book One: LORD FOUL'S BANE
Book Two: THE ILLEARTH WAR
Book Three: THE POWER THAT PRESERVES
