FastestGunAlive posted:Read the first book, its a good break from your normal fantasy but don't bother with the rest. And if you do decide to read the rest, do not read The Silver Spike, I could write paragraphs about how that is one of the worst books, of any genre, I've ever read.

Fried Chicken posted:Here is the thread in question. There is context (such as it is) for things, and you can see what that tumblr decided not to preserve, and who said some of the unattributed quotes I wonder how he'd react if someone told him Blizzard Entertainment took the same root idea as Riftwar and made more money than he's physically capable of imagining with it. It'd be a nice capstone to the sales-envy chat they were spitting about near the earlier pages. And I really need to find Iron Dragon's Daughter. I've read the sequel, but not that, and it's one of those things you think to do but never manage to remember. Drakyn fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Feb 19, 2014 |

freebooter posted:I've started reading Jurassic Park again because it was one of the first adult books I read as a kid, when I was like 12, and while I still think it's a great sci-fi thriller the writing is also painfully stilted. And terribly sexist. Also you have multiple people seeing the mostly-intact carcass of a tiny theropod and ID'ing it as 'some kind of lizard maybe mutant???,' including a trained biologist. I'm pretty sure that was a little implausible even in the 80s, but nowadays with at least increased general quasi-dinosaur recognition across the population (thanks, Jurassic Park), that'd be downright insane.
