Them's the ones. They're pretty good. Somewhat weird, but frequently amusing as hell. Straight sci-fi with a bunch of sex and drugs.Vraith wrote:Are those the L. Ron books?

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain
Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?

Just finished "The Hotel Under the Sand" by Kage Baker, which turned out to be a YA book, and a pretty good one.
Next up, I think, is "Elfland" by Freda Warrington. The cover blurb is by Charles deLint, but I'm going to give the book a try anyhow.

Giving Jitterbug Perfume another go.
Not that it is difficult to read or anything, in fact I was loving the book-I just had to put it down for a while-But now I'm back to reading it.
Still Love it!!

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

"Prospero Lost" by L. Jagi Lamplighter. It's okay.

Just finished Robin Hobb's Dragon Haven. It was all right, but it fails to truly satisfy in and of itself. The end offers resolution of a sort, but you end up feeling as though you have read the second volume of a trilogy and you are left with too many unanswered questions. . .
Last week I completed GRRM and Gardner Dozois' Songs of Love & Death, which was pretty good.
Check out the blog for the full reviews.
Next up: My review of R. Scott Bakker's The White-Luck Warrior!
Cheers,

Macroscope (1969), Piers Anthony. I'm finding out, again, that he was at one time quite an ingenious author until the greed set in.
