1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    Can anyone suggest to me some new authors/novels to try out? I prefer novels over short story collections. Here's some of the stuff I enjoy most:

    -Anything from James Morrow or Chuck Palahniuk
    -Mysteries like the classic Sherlock Holmes stories
    -Horror like Edgar Alan Poe or HP Lovecraft
    -Science Fiction like Isaac Asimov or Ray Bradbury
    -Dystopian novels like 1984 or Brave New World
    -Adventure novels set in this world with colorful casts of characters
    -Fantasy stories that aren't huge multi-book epics

    It does have multiple books, but I do love Eragon? It's a very cute found family story, that has dragons and rebellion, and it's a childhood fav of mine!

    If you like Stephen King, try his new book:
    Gwendy's Last Task (1 of a triology)

    Yes, any King book is excellent. Also, John Irving-- especially The World According To Garp!
