Go with audiobooks! Then someone else reads it for you!

[Rashka]

I've never had an audio book, I find it hard to imagine the scenes in my head then I think

[Regorn]

I just put on a playlist of a let's player on youtube when I want to hear something, that or some game related video. 
I once had my strangest run ever in Darkest Dungeon while listening to the Co-Optional podcast.

I like games

[Revax]

I love listening to warhammer 40k audiobooks

[Srelok]

I prefer the Horus Heresy ones.
But that's just me.

[Lars]

Umm, wouldn't Horus Heresy be WH40k ones?

And you should do more than one form of cultural expression. Since they all colour each other to rather big degrees!
There's a reason why if you want to understand a cultures "modern" works you first need too study their ancient works! They colour everything (So, in Europe the Bible and the Iliad+Odysseys to start with).

[Srelok]

VERY technically, no. Horus Heresy is 30K. Semantics ofc, but the atmosphere in HH audios is more to my liking. Less apocalyptic, especially the earlier ones like Horus Rising. Bit more age of enlightenment to them.

[Lars]

Well, my interest in the Warhammer (any) franchise lore books is practically zero. So unless I hear that the best writer of my generation starts writing in it I'll never touch it.
Got enough pulpy sci-fi and fantasy to read as it is in worlds I find more interesting. As well as a far to huge backlog on other quality literature.
That fights with TV-shows, movies, games, studies, etc etc etc.
WTB: Clones that can absorb culture for me.

[Revax]

If you want to be nitpicky, wh 30k should technically be wh 31k, and wh 40k should be wh 41k. You count millenias by the 1s not the 10s

[Regorn]

Warhammer 40.000 miniature game, the 40K books, the 40K video games, all the spin off games (such as Gorka Morka) and the Horus heresy book series is all part of the Warhammer 40.000 Franchise.

Sure, The Horus Hersey stuff don't take place at the year 40.000 but it still part of the franchise named "Warhammer 40.000".

[Nosh'marak]

I do read a lot of books. Currently reading "Operation Garbo", a thriller about an alternate reality where the Soviet Union invades Sweden in the 1990s. It is really good, do recommend for any Swedes!

[Azolg]

Dan Browns books. Digital Fortress. Deception Point. Amazing works of art.

[Srelok]

The Passage and the Twelve by Justin Cronin. Or literally ANYTHING by Brendan Sanderson.

[Groshnok]

While I know he's not a novelist, I'm a massive fan of Alan Moore's writing in his graphic novels. Watchmen is definitely my favourite of all time, and V for Vendetta and the Killing Joke are also up there.

Currently reading through Preacher by Garth Ennis and Porno (sequel to Trainspotting, which people would probably know more) by Irvine Welsh.

[Rashka]

Why did I read "penis" instead of "Ennis" ? I wonder.
