Dusty Chalk Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I was recently recommended Robopocalypse by io9. Any of those particularly bad or particularly good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShine Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Robopocalypse and Redshirts are good but not great. I gave them both 3 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. About 1/4 into Leviathan and it's better than either (so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 That reminds me...joining now...under the name, 'Dusty Chalk'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShine Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Almost everybody uses their real name over there. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hey, 'Dusty Chalk' is real. It's just not my given name...er...my birth name...or whatever you want to call it. But I am he. For realsies. Is that you friending me? Sorry, I don't know anyone's real name over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Started The White Devil by Justin Evans yesterday. Was doing laundry and hadn't started anything since finishing Blackout. I can't remember anything about it, having bought it ages ago, and just pulled it up on the Kindle. It's kind of fun going into a novel not knowing what's going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonShine Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 You are now my top friend. Always wanted a bottom friend Check out the groups. Sword and laser is a good one with author interviews and a bi-weekly Youtube show (with Veronica Belmont). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am not reading this, but the author was a law school classmate of mine and I thought the title and cover were humorous in the HC context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 ^That was the last book I read before the Hunger Games series. I wouldn't recommend it (not that you were doing that). Just saying. Sorry Jacob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Me: Reamde, StephensonThis is outstanding. Techno-thriller, with classic Stephenson humour, but not done ridiculously -- more humanly, like Whedon -- the characters have a sense of humour, and that's where it manifests, in their thoughts, words, actions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Read Warm Bodies on my flight from Boston to Seattle. Quick, fun read with a little different take on what the post-Zombie-Apocolypse world might hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 You want something really different, read this. (It gets a bit porny in parts, obviously.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wow, Fifty Shades of Gray originated from Twilight fan fiction. How did I not know this before? Anyway, just sent Free Will by Sam Harris and The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined by Steven Pinker to the Kindle. Starting the former now.

en480c4 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Read In the Shadow of Gotham. Quite good. Early 20th century murder mystery in the Hudson Ricer valley. Reading Gone Girl now. Really good so far. I like traveling. I get a lot of alone time to read. Miss Lauren, the pup and the kitties, and really looking forward to gettin home, but lots if reading is never a bad thig.

NightWoundsTime Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Wow, Fifty Shades of Gray originated from Twilight fan fiction. How did I not know this before? I didn't either, makes perfect sense. From Wiki: James initially wrote fanfiction under the pen name "Snowqueens Icedragon", with her most notable work being a Twilight fanfiction that was eventually developed into Fifty Shades of Grey. I will LOL for a week. Edited July 23, 2012 by NightWoundsTime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Finished Reamde and Absolution Gap (his weakest), started Thirteen (Kelley Armstrong). Can't decide whether or not to start Chasm City or Fool Moon. Can't decide what to do about the new Castle book -- kindle version is only a dollar or two less expensive than the hardback version. Will probably wait for the paperback this time. Curses to the book companies for winning that particular battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Finally getting around to Stephen King's 11/22/63. About a third of the way in and have enjoyed it very much so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Currently finishing up the Newsflesh Trilogy. About halfway through the 3rd book and have no idea where this is going to end up but it's been a lot of fun so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
