MoonShine Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Been reading a lot lately. Recently finished: Better than the movie. Audiobook. Not his best but still good. It was OK. Another just OK. Really liked this. Apocalypse version of Old Man & the Sea, basically. This book messed me up. Loved it. Trying to expand beyond sci-fi/fantasy, science, and travel books.

nikongod Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Currently reading On The Road but I don't really know why. I guess I hope it will all fall into place, but I have the nagging fear that I will get to the end and just be left with emptiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 you may like those things, but it's a stream of consciousness story from Kerouac. Any meaning you find from it you bring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Spaulding Gray's better 'Impossible Vacation' was my gateway to accepting 'On the Road,' but in reality there just better Beat and of course other, writing out there. Echoing Grawk, I wouldn't beat yourself up if 'On the Road' doesn't hit. Now if 'The Road' doesn't hit we can talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Good to hear. Read the concurrent sequel, so now have to hit Crake. In fact recommended The Handmaid's Tale to my mother yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonShine Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I have joined a couple of local book clubs so I am now reading: 2 chapters in, loving it so far. Same: 2 chapters in & very good so far. Combo of sci-fi/noir (ala Blade Runner), & steampunk. Been wanting to read this for awhile. I've heard good things about it so looking forward to it.

Dusty Chalk Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Last Call was excellent albeit more mainstream fantasy than his others. Less mindbending.
