"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

Hope you feel better soon, Sea! |G
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

10 parts? The novel is 9 parts! The rest are side-stories! After Flat Earth you've read my first novel. :lol: Thoughts, opinions? :lol:

Oh, ho, listen, Man, and we'll tell you everything! Do you hear the waves whispering the secret? We know you know, Man. The secret of life is just sheer joy, and joy is everywhere. Joy is what we were made for. It is in the rush of the nighttime surf and in the beach rocks and in the salt and the air and in the water we breathe and deep, deep within the blood. And the sifting ocean sands and the wriggling silverfish and the hooded greens of the shallows and the purple deeps and in the oyster's crusty shell and the pink reefs and even in the muck of the ocean's floor, joy, joy, joy!

That's beautiful imagery. What is it from?

Who wrote those? I've never heard of them. (At least, I think I haven't.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverness
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

Well...
While wikipedia has a decent write up of Neverness, you'll learn far more about the series and author on the Hangar.

But yeah...
I'm not so good at hiding my wants, aye?

Yes. :biggrin:

I'm actually surprised danlo hasn't been in here yet, pimping David Zindell himself. He must be too busy playing Mafia Wars... :P

Well, in my defence, none of it was a novel when I started reading it. ;)

Anyway...all decent novels require a reread. And I'll be rereading yours as soon as I finish my Erikson reread, and a book called Savage by Nick Hazelwood.
