I've been reading your posts for a long time [MENTION=46713]Jhaelen[/MENTION], and I never would have guessed that English wasn't your first language. You have a great command of English as well as use of idiom.
Why, thank you! (Good thing you can't see me blushing...)
There's still lots of room for further improvement, though

I enjoy challenging myself with English books that are somewhat hard to read from time to time, e.g.:
- China Miéville is great, especially 'Embassytown', since it's also _about_ language (, or rather Language).
- Steven Erikson's Malazan books - so far I've only read the first four.
I've also delved into some classics, e.g.:
- John Milton's 'Paradise Lost'
- James Joyce's 'Ulysses' (contains parts that are _really_ hard to read)
- William Faulkner's 'Absalom, Absalom! (which I deemed unreadable and gave up on after the first 15 page long sentence...)
Since I'm almost done with 'Eyes of the Stone Thief', I'll soon need to pick up a few new books to read.
Now, that Kazuo Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year, I've decided it's about time I read something written by him.
I was quite impressed by the movie 'Never Let Me Go' based on one of his novels, but 'The Buried Giant' also seems to be quite interesting.
Does anyone have some other good recommendations?
