LOL, your username suddenly makes a lot of sense Why didn't you like Steel Remains? I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that a lot of people who love his other books don't like it.

Hehehe. I always used Jerichau, but this one is more unique.

Well it's not sci-fi, it's fantasy, and slightly stereotypical fantasy at that, so people expecting Takeshi awesomeness were disappointed. There was also a gay sex scene I had to skip before I chunked. I'm not against poofs, but I don't want to read about it :/ If you happen to be gay or don't get the heebie-da-jeebadies reading about it then you might like it.

I don't really go into any books with any expectations and Altered Carbon was actually the first real Sci-Fi book I read. Usually stick to some fantasy (particularly Robert Jordan) some thrillers (Michael Robotham, Ted Dekker) and any obscure/unorthodox books I come across (Hubert Selby Jr., Mark Z. Danielewski, David Wong). Im also not gay or really bothered if there is a gay sex scene in a book, as long as I don't have to see it in a movie I'm fine I don't easily get bothered by stuff like that in books (if it is within context), it's sometimes interesting to see some of the "stranger" things people come up with.

It's _really_ graphic. You should get it and let me know if you get siffed out

I take it you've read the Andrzej Sapkowski translations? Very different vibe to The Witcher game, much lighter, but still good.

Just started reading Way of the Shadows by Brent Weeks, quite good, not your stereotypical fantasy so far (until they whip out a dark lord or long quest).

Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee.... a very, very good book. Give it a 9/10 because 10/10 is too much for the hateful main character.

I've read some pretty sick stuff before, but I'll get it eventually (after finishing the Takeshi novels) and let you know how it goes.

Yeah, I've read The Last Wish and about half of Blood of Elves. The only thing that put me off Blood of Elves were all the political discussions between the kings etc., I just wasn't in the mood for it. Will start reading it again once Times of Contempt is near release (if it ever does get published in English).
