cda posted:Stephenson is another writer who I think fundamentally can't write women. Imo his books are Dude Books so even though I find them entertaining and interesting I can never quite recommend them. Stephenson has some real bad books also and agreed e: oh geez saw the post above. yea diamond age and snow crash are really funny and good but man reamde was so boring imo |

Finger Prince posted:I'm reading Blackfish right now and it's ok. It's a post apocalyptic water world type thing, nothing amazing but not bad either. Got it with Amazon kindle whatever it is that lets you access books each month. i actually really liked blackfish lol. i cant stand most hype sci fi either ---------------- |

yea one dimensional characters are kind of the bane of this stuff from what ive experienced. unkindness of ghosts was really bad for that. every bad guy is a racist, a rapist, a pedophile, an abuser, a total dick, an idiot, a fascist etc etc etc the chapter in blackfish city with the gay prost is beautiful tho tbh ---------------- |
