Hey there. I thought I'd try to contribute something of substance while away, so I've picked out a few books that I think might jive well with the themes we've been discussing.
The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is a good answer to the fantasy tradition of grand narratives. It concerns itself largely with random chance and pointlessness. (It's also fantastic).
The Prince of Nothing by R. Scott Bakker is a great example of philosophical, theological and very gritty fantasy. It's a bit like Dune, and a bit like the Second Crusade.
Enjoy, and I'll see you all on the 28th.
