Ok, Black Prism sounds like what i'm after. But not the audio version. there's not more than one version? i heard that Name of The Wind had a tape version that was bad. The Black Jewels sound like what i'm looking for regarding the magic. I don't know whether high sex content and darkness is my fare. Guess i'll find out. Xanth, ok. Sounds like a nice perspective.

Thanks. I'll look at Codex Alera and Black Prism. The Elenium Books i have read and there is quite a bit of magic there but basically what i'm looking for is settings that have magic instead of technology. Patrick Rothfuss does it to some degree in The Kingkiller Chronicle in that there are magic lamps instead of electric ones and some other small things but beyond that it is still a medieval setting. Guess i'm basically looking for books that have taken a modern setting (or more advanced) replaced the modern technologies with magical ones and then worked from there to get what could have produced that and changed the setting accordingly (and possibly removed the original magical devices).

Hello. First post from me and maybe i'm putting it somewhere i shouldn't but i couldn't find a better spot for it (if this is a bad spot i apologize and ask for help in moving it to a better one). I'm looking for help in finding books with special characteristics, reading tips, books to read and learn from. I'm looking for books where magic is very commonplace. Where magic itself is not anything special and is used almost everywhere in society. To use writing excuses terms; the donkey has been put out of business. Anybody know of such books? I'm currently listening to Wise Mans Fear and it has some of the items down but it is too rare. Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, and a wiki isn't what i'm after since it doesn't allow to use multiple terms. in a wiki i could find my way to the books that have magic but i couldn't tell which ones have technology. basically i want something that allows me to check "boxes" for things such as 'magic', 'technology', 'length' (different ones obviously), 'hard magic', "magic used by a viewpoint character", "technology used by a viewpoint character", etc. tv tropes is fun tho.

I actually just registered to ask if anyone knew about a site that does about that. Guess i have a point to start at. Still... Anyone know about a site that lets you get a bit deeper into definitions of the books? (I'm looking for hightech and magic intermingled) a sql questionaire of something might be cool..... Or a booru.... I don't think a wiki would really work.... edit; note i'm not talking about only that top 100 list. i'm talking about all books.
