You guys left a mess in here!

Looks like a party went on and I walked in after everyone left. LOL Starting Gardens of the Moon: Book One of The Malazan Book of the Fallen this weekend. Better late than never. I wont be going into the threads here's here to comment, and only as appropriate as I finish books. I don't want to spoil...

What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Indeed - away to the Malazan designated threads for me, with the (generally ;) ) high level endorsements ringing in my ears. You know, I havent read any of the Malazan at all. I have two others to finish, but hey I am retiring in May... I should have plenty of time to start a new series. It is time...

Oscar's 2024

I did watch Oppenheimer and it was excellent. Mainly because I was interested in the story line. Robert Downey Jr was almost unrecognizable in is role and not in a bad way.

But I dont watch the Oscars, Grammy's, etc etc etc.. No interest at all.

2023. A Duff Year For Films

I forgot to mention ISS (International Space Station) That was a GREAT movie!!! You should stream it when you can. Possibly the best movie Ive seen in a long while. In a nutshell the below is what its about. Everyone is getting along and doing their research and then war breaks out on earth. Tension...

What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Ive been reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. I am currently on book 10 (Reaper) and there are two more out (Dreadgod and Waybound) in this series that I will read before starting anything new. This series is nothing "high brow". I almost didn't pick it back up after reading the first ...

2023. A Duff Year For Films

There were a couple of movies I watched this last year that I thought were excellent. Jesus Revolution - Yeah I know its more for Christians. But the story telling was excellent and the acting was excellent. Sound of Freedom - Loved it as well. Points out how human slavery and child exploitation sti...

DeForest Kelley as Dr McCoy City on the Edge of Forever

Loved this episode and its one that comes to mind when people ask what your fav episode of Trek is. CCOY: You deliberately stopped me, Jim. I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did? SPOCK: He knows, Doctor. He knows. Kelly shares the tragic scene with Shatner and portrays McCoy's shock ...

Age Group Poll, as 2023 ends…

Thanks StevieG! Just make sure you do all the math prior to hitting that switch. How much will you get from retirement accounts/investments, when to take SS (62,65,67, or 70), ACA (and the cliff) and healthcare, taxes, and RMDs, and Sequence of returns risk. I have it all in spreadsheets so I can se...

So hows the weather?

Single digits here in Ohio for the most part. A balmy 27 today after starting at 3 degrees this morning. 30 tomorrow followed the next day to a retreat to colder weather and snow. Typical Ohio winters.

2023 NFL Whipping post

Season is about over for most teams. The Falcons were again a letdown although if Tampa loses this week and the Falcons win, the Falcons could win the NFC South. SF has the most balanced team in the NFC right now. Lets see if they can close. Cowboys look like they could contend with SF for the NFC. ...

I wonder if, while doing the outline for the books he had a number of unused ideas that he incorporated in his later books.

If only I had the 1977 Cordoba to sit in, enjoying the feel of the Corinthian leather, while reading a luxurious signed leather copy of LFB. "Ahhhhh Kirk... my old friend....."

The Absence of The Creator in The Last Chrons

Excellent points and it delves into so much that makes these books so compelling to the readers. TC also gives an outside and inside explanation when Linden first comes to the Land and by then he has had 10 years to think about what happened and to come to grips with it. At the end it didn't really ...

What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

I am going to go ahead and download the others you suggested. I suggest reading them in chronological order (not the order I read them in), so Best Served Cold first, and then Red Country . And yes, great characterisation. Logan is, ultimately, a tragic figure. Definitely one of my favourite. Anywa...
