What Do You Think Today?
But that isn't why I'm here today; I have a different topic in mind - that of self censorship and how it effects our discourse. Hmmm, differing perspectives. :D I think of it as knowing one's audience rather than censoring oneself. I have long been of the opinion that it is possible to say almost a...

Malazan Issues [And Stuff] (Spoilers)
Prob about 1/4 way through MoT, as always I end up skimming far less than I intend to, but still pretty happy jumping through stuff like Udinaas and the Wyveral story line, (at least until Ruin shows up), and a lot of the Edur stuff, although some bits, like Trull and the Jheck, and Rhulad's "e...

Esselmont: Path To Ascendancy
Well I will be re-reading them again soon, (which I guess will be the 4th time according to the previous post, but also I don't know if anybody has mentioned there is a 4th of these out now (already for some time), Forge of the High Mage which if I recall is more about Tayshrenn. Guess I need to be ...

First read: Deadhouse Gates. Book 2
I also like that style of switching points of view and telling the story over and over again from each one. (The only time I can think of offhand that I have seen it done well in film was Tarentino's Jacky Brown and for a change I actually think he under did something...I would have liked more of th...

What Do You Think Today?
This time it appears to have been the other way around Av. Must say I long since stopped keeping up with the details. Of course, a significant faction of Hamas is probably still invested in the most overwrought Israeli response possible, which as you say, Netenyahu seems bound on producing, so not ...

What Do You Think Today?
This seems to me to be putting obstacles in front of enterprising individuals just for the sake of satisfying current social trends. I thought the current social trends were for unisex / gender neutral bathrooms... :D In which case those small restaurants should be on top of the pile. :D As for Isr...

He did pretty well against the Liosan.. (That whole scene is pretty hilarious...when they finally find Gesler and Stormy and get themselves beaten up again. )

Reinforcing my opinion that every one of these books is actually damn depressing, her story is a tragic one indeed...

Malazan Issues [And Stuff] (Spoilers)
So, I changed the title of this thread a bit, since I'm running ahead in my re-read so I might as well use this for just random stuff as well. Just finished HoC and I'm reminded why this was for a long time my favourite, and remains such a good book...I might skim the first couple hundred pages, at ...

The Photography thread - with pictures.
Cool.
Never heard of these things. When I first saw the pic I assumed they were otters, (which makes sense since a quick google tells me they are also mustelids).
