What Are You Reading?

[Calliander]

I'm reading "Nine Tomorrows," by Isaac Asimov. Very good stuff so far.

I'm reading a book called "Transgressions" which is a collection of novellas from some rockin' authors, and I have to say the second story in there, "Hostages" by Anne Perry, is astoundingly good.

I think I'm going to start reading The Big Sleep after I finish Children of Dune (which is largely pretty boring, save for some events near the end of the book). So that should be fun. God Emperor of Dune isn't sounding too tempting realy, Leto isn't very... I don't know. Interesting.

The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla

[Regus]

I read through Tomorrow and Tomorrow, a book about a man traveling into the future inorder to find a cure for his sick wife. It was okay, but it really dragged on towards the end.

I am no reading Nueromancer and I do not like it at all. I hate the way this guy writes. I don't care about any of the characters, I hate the way they talk and I hate the way the author describes things. I may or may not finish it, I'm not sure yet.

I recommended that on here awhile ago. I loved that book, and didn't think it dragged on at all (it was pretty short even).

I thought it was some of the most incredibly creative visions of the far, faaaaaaaaar distant future anyone could come up with. And the ending was so sweet, finding his wife finally and (my interpretation) becoming God in a way.

I enjoyed most of the book actually, especially the early future stuff, I even loved when he finally experienced his first physical death, but once they got really far into future I hated how they spent all that time fucking around with the snarks and the shiva. Because both of those things were ultimately pointless (although the fallout from the shiva buildup was cool I guess, (drake becoming a collective).

That stuff just took the story right off the rails, it really bogged the book down, but aside from that I enjoyed it.

I'm reading "Nine Tomorrows," by Isaac Asimov. Very good stuff so far.

The Last Question kicks ass.

I finished The Cheese Monkeys. It took about 2.5 hours. I read the last 3 pages about 20 times and tore the last page out and taped it to the wall next to my front door so I can see it every time I leave the apartment.

If you call yourself a graphic designer, or if you're pretentious enough to call yourself an artist, you should read this book. If not, it won't mean shit to you.

A professor of mine put this on his required reading list for one my classes. I never got around to it, but thank you for reminding me about it.

"Downward to Earth" by Robert Silverberg, "The Sons of Oak" by David Farland and Barron's GMAT Preparation.

Hey, how is Downward to Earth? I think I have a copy of it lying around here somewhere...

[SapphirePhoenix]

I'm about halfway through "Downward to Earth". So far, it's been pretty good. Silverberg does his usual moral guiding. I would tell you more about the book, but I might ruin your experience. Flip through a couple of pages, Silverberg's work is usually more hit than miss .
