Ok thanks. But others here don't think its so incredible. My previewing of the book reveals some fantasy sword play and the like.Fist and Faith wrote:Worm, it's the first of a huge series of books. The final installment of which, the tenth book, is coming out March 1st. It's incredible. Absolutely incredible.
What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Of course you're half-joking, but I had already read other comments about the book here where the word "slog" was used.Fist and Faith wrote:Are you suggesting that preferences for literature are subjective?!?!??

@ 1/3rd through "Perdido Street Station."
Liking it.
Pretty funny that just read a section that has almost exactly the same discussion a number of us did in the "Platonic Mathematical" thread.

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.

Just read Hunter's Death by Michelle West. I liked it! Somewhat cumbersome (a lot of characters- albeit interesting ones- to keep track of) but it had a freshness and a psychological reality to it.

Gardens of the Moon, the "first" book in Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I'm slugging through the 3rd book right now, Memories of Ice. I'm definitely enjoying it, but it's the type of book you need to sit down with for 2 hours at a time and devote your entire attention to.
Sorry Kary Kat, but the dissections don't begin until May...there's plenty of sign-up slots left right now!

Finished "perdido" liked it quite a lot over-all, but some things about Isaac bugged me a bit.

Dam, sorry Krazy Kat (which was one of my fav cartoons as a kid, Officer Pup, "You can't escape the long arm of the law." *arm stretches forever in effort to grab Ignatz*
Going to make a serious effort to get back into MoI tomorrow at the coffee shop. Got interrupted by a quick little book that Tam suggested I read called Heaven is For Real about a 4 year old kid in Nebraska who goes to "heaven" on the operating table-it's endearing but a little to white-bread/born again hermetically sealed. Interestingly enough both the boy's and a little black girl's, year's before, vision of Jesus are exactly the same and he looks just like Kenny Loggings!
(when I found out the co-author also co-authored Palin's Going Rogue my eyebrows raised even higher--that's the risk you run when buying a book at CostCo, I guess...
