Panas posted:Starship Troopers Finished this a little while ago and was not surprised to find it was about 1000x better than the movie. In fact, it still sticks out as one of my favorite books of recent memory.

Pfirti86 posted:I read it about a month ago. I really enjoyed it, especially the last part. It starts a little slow, but really picks up by the fourth part. Welp, just got a few dozen pages in and I'm wondering something, is it alright if I know hardly anything about some of the literature being referenced and don't consider myself very knowledgeable about literature in general?

planets in space posted:I just began Gardens of the Moon, the first book in the Malazan series, by Steven Erikson. Here's hopin' for a good one. Stick with this one and finish it, and even if you don't like it I would definitely recommend trying the second in the series (Chain of Dogs), the background info in GotM proves pretty helpful for enjoying the series. I just started Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Only a couple chapters in, anyone have any feedback on this book/series?

Just started Ian M. Bank's Use of Weapons because of the thread here in BB. Only a few chapters in and I'm worried I'm going to get lost.

something_clever posted:Simultaneously started and still deciding which one to stick with: I finished 2666 a few months ago and even though I'm a native English speaker, I'll give my 2 cents and just say I thought the prose was pretty easy to read. Also, its a great loving book.

Homemaster posted:Did anyone else go to town with the ebook sales on Amazon? I picked up The Prague Cemetary (a book I know I will like) as well as random political books about why Obama is an apathetic commie. All around 2-4 bucks. Should be good. I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything that looked too interesting. Past few days though were pretty good I just started "Under the Dome" by Steven King and it was only 2 bucks. Pretty good so far. For anyone who read it already, does King do a decent job ending it or does it fall flat? SilkyP fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Dec 30, 2012 |

A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again by DFW. I liked the essay he wrote on tennis that some goon linked in the essay thread a lot so I picked it up cheap online. Only a quarter of the way in. Not bad, nothing I've liked as much as his tennis essay but dude seemed like a pretty interesting guy. Haven't read any of his other stuff but will probably end up reading some of his shorter stuff. I'd like to try Infinite Jest but I'm not sure if it would actually be enjoyable or if it's just a book hipsters like to say they read as a badge of honor.
