THRILLED 2B HERE posted:This isnt entirely the right thread for this but I didnt feel confident, or see a big enough demand, in starting a new one just for this. Your description is pretty vague, but are you possibly talking about the Mars series (Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars) by Kim Stanley Robinson? I guess Kim is sorta Asian sounding although he's not Asian as far as I know.

THRILLED 2B HERE posted:I dont remember anything of the names, just the format I think was two initials then a surname, although I may be wrong and it was a three name affair. All I can think of now is R.B. BAPPERCHAPS from that sci-fi book photoshop thread.

FakeHipster posted:I'm about 75 pages into Gravitys Rainbow, and I have no loving clue what is going on. How many drugs was Pynchon on? I read Against the Day, but at least that book had a semi coherent plot. Definitely stick with it, it becomes much easier to read after the first section. There really is a plot in there, I swear.

I love Pale Fire. Make sure you read the whole thing, including the index - it's part of the book. Also, if you get the Everyman's Library version, pay attention to their warning and skip the introduction until you've finished the rest of the book.

I'm reading them right now too and was planning on splitting them up, but I enjoyed the first one so much that I dove right into the second, and will probably do the same for the third.

maxnmona posted:I can't wait for this http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Year-Fell-Love-Went/dp/0805093230/ Nice, I didn't realize she had a new book coming. I pre-ordered it because I'll probably forget about it and it'll be a nice surprise when it comes in the mail.

A lot of people in the "52 books this year" thread (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3377849) use Goodreads, so check in there.
