    If you enjoy references, you should check out the He Who Fights With Monsters series. There have been a few unexpected references that had me full blown belly laughing.

      I recently finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and someone suggested this as related. I’m going to have to check it out after I finish the Hyperion cantos (I just recently discovered Endymion)

        Fair warning, the series lives or dies based on whether or not you like the main character. He’s very divisive, so you’ll either love the series or hate it.

        Also, the books make a point of listing relevant skills and abilities before they’re used. In a written format, this isn’t bad. It acts as a sort of quick reference. But in the audiobooks, (especially the early ones) it means you end up listening to the same skill descriptions like a dozen times throughout the course of the book. Later audiobooks shifted the descriptions to an index, instead of having them inline with the rest of the text. This dramatically cleared things up for the listener.

          Thanks for the heads up!

          For some reason I can’t get into audio books so text it is :)
