You are killing all the Deathlands books!
You are killing all the Deathlands books!
I have only read his first Shades of Grey, and loved it, but then he didn’t write the sequel for 15 years.
I have first book in his Thursday Next series, but haven’t started it yet.
Interesting. While I know Grimm’s Fairy Tales aren’t as nice as Disney make them out to be, didn’t know that about Bambi. Will take a look.
Thanks for the recommendation.
If Books Could Kill
Looked it up, looks interesting, they also have some books in the list that I know about. Going to check it out.
Yeah, I wasn’t looking specifically for dumb animals. Anthropomorphized, super-powered, scientifically mutated, anything, as long as it’s from their point of view, at least for majority of the writing.
Will look up A Fire Upon the Deep. Thanks for the recommendation!
Nothing wrong with liking what others don’t. I just responded cause you said you don’t get why it gets so much hate. Of course, you don’t have to agree with the reasons.
BTW I just gave you a random example from my mind cause I read it a long time ago, maybe over 20 years or so. It’s possible I don’t remember it from the book but by some mention online. There were many other complaints about his writing though, but since you like it, and I don’t even remember most of it, no point arguing over it. 😀
There are two aspects to it, one the books, and second the author. Author isn’t very likable, if you read some of his interviews you will understand. His opinion about himself, about fantasy, and general readers (and authors) of fantasy can be a bit annoying. As for the books, they sometimes have very stupid writing.
It has been a long time since I read the series, but one scene that I remember on top of my head, there was a woman (or group of them), who has to escape / pass through the whole army, so they go topless, cause then all the men in army will not be looking at their face and won’t recognize them.
There were many other things like that.
Dresden Files are great. One of my favourite series. I am going through all the books slowly, don’t want to run out of them before the next one releases. Generally read a book every month or so. Last one I read was White Night. Going to start Small Favor when I am done with my current book.
Heh, nice one.
Ahan, cool. Will see if I can find a copy at my local store.
Interesting premise, will check it out.
Thanks, will check them out!
Thanks for the input, will check them out!
I have heard a lot about The Pillars of the Earth, should get around to it some day.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I saw it mentioned on Wikipedia when reading about the books. Didn’t check the details though, as I was mainly interested in the books.
Thanks for the recommendation. With how much everyone seemed to like them, I think I’ll just get first couple of books and see if I like them enough to continue.
Ahan, thanks for the info. Will check out the series.
About Epic Homesteading, would love to hear if you implement any stuff from the book.
The world and the story is interesting, but for some reason I didn’t like how the book is written. Have only read the first book though, got the whole trilogy as omnibus, so will eventually get to the next two books.
Have heard great things about her, but have yet to read any of her work.
How are you enjoying it? I heard it’s a bit different from the movie.
