>>5040639
I should also add Codex Alera by Jim Butcher to that list

>>5040639
Good list but no Kitty Norville? Come on man Carrie Vaughn is kick ass

>>5040639
/lit/ hates both genre fiction, and women. so when you have something that's genre fiction whose main demo is women, welp

that said, good on you for actually recommending shit.

you are the problem demographic

>>5040804
Like >>5040639 said

>pretentious faggots

>>5040006
Normally I'd make fun of you for reading this crap, sookie stackhouse, not genre fiction. But >>5040639 has some really good recommendations in there, so maybe you'll get better taste.

>>5040639
I hate genre fiction, and barely anyone on this board would ever recommend a book let alone a list. I hate you for reading this shit, but commend you for helping someone. And since OP is too much of a worthless piece of shit to thank you. On behalf of this board I thank you for not being a faggot troll, and helping someone.

Good on you anon

>>5042718
Why do you encourage these people? Fuck off to Reddit

>>5042718
>Good on you anon

Thanks! I try my best to help when I can

>>5040787
Thank you too

>>5042730

Why don't you use filters? Don't you think life would be better if you stopped intentionally getting mad?

>>5040639
OP here, thanks a lot anon. I will check them.

>>5040718
>>5040743
Thanks too.

>>5044706
And I know that this board is full of pretentious faggots, but I also know that 4chan, even being a nest of trolls is a good place to share and discuss, if you know how to do it ofc.

Anyone who denies it, is just aiming to become the next ultimate faggot.

Guys, I don't need your intellectual approval, so don't waste your time insulting me or other people, it won't work. If you need it to feel better is a different thing, a sad one, but still different.

>>5040639
>those recommends
Are you me?

>>5040006
Also OP the ones in green

>>5045395
I was totally with you until LKH. She is the worst author

>>5040639
I love you. You remind me of those kids in high school who blatantly played Yu-Gi-Oh in the courtyard.

>>5045554
Anita Blake was good until Obsidian Butterfly, hence why the "stop at Obsidian Butterfly".

After that she just over shadows any plot and development with take as many big cocks down her throat as possible and powering up men(and women) with her magic vagina. Fuck That Shit.

>>5045641
>Anita Blake was good


I stopped reading there

>>5040006
The Remy Chandler series by Thomas E. Sniegoski is really good

>>5045641
I'll give LKH props for being the first urban fantasy/paranormal romance author published just because she opened the doors for the genre, but her writing was never good

>>5046652
But Anita Blake was good!

>>5045395
I have some of those downloaded, and I have read also some others.

With 'The Mortal Instruments' I am reading the second, 'City of Ashes' and I feeling a bit bored, maybe because I have been reading it very slowly or I don't know. I will give it another try in few days.

>>5047361
I think the reason I stuck with it was because of the implied incest... /lit/ had me on an incestuos rampage a few years ago, once some famaly member was taking the D I would have read it.

What's your favorite saga of this genre?

>>5048233
For me I'd have to go with The Incryptid series by Seanan McGuire

>>5048437
It's hard to chose only one, but I think maybe 'The Black Magician' by Trudi Canavan. Though it doesn't have that much romance.

>>5049231
>it doesn't have that much romance.

That's the thing, the majority of Urban fantasy doesn't have a lot of romance. People always confuse the sub genre of paranormal romance with urban fantasy because they're so similar. The key difference is paranormal romance has sex scenes

>>5049521
>paranormal romance has sex scenes


I should phrase this better. Paranormal romance has graphic sex scenes

>Dresden files #1

God damn good reads has some shit taste

>>5051089
What you wanted? Gravity's rainbow? Infinite Jest?

Is there good pulp World Of Darkness literature, say, in the vein of the game, Vampire the Masquarede: Bloodlines?

>>5052027
bump

The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch is really nice. It's like the TV show Supernatural but not gay and very British. It's also a very nice love letter to the city of London itself with lots of history and geography.

What's wrong/right with Dresden Files?

>>5052507
