Is it

on,

Is

Is
his

faulty,
maybe ?
Was
it
the grapefruit

the knife ?
I don't know. I just don't know. I shall consult with The Penguins. I will have the answers I crave.

It's a decent read, but I suppose that some of the POVs are not quite as interesting as certain others.. (eg Sansa and Catelyn Stark vs Tyrion Lannister and Jon & Samwell).Mandalorian FaLLouT GoD wrote:That series by Martin sucks ass. Its a horrible mockery of fantasy mixed with a romance novel.

I just don't trust posting systems much. [STOP]
I like to hope that things will come out looking [STOP]
somewhat like I posted them. [STOP]
That is, how it looks on my screen. [STOP]
What does it look like to you? [STOP]
By the way, keep sending those tasty penguins.
My only problem is it white wine with fowl, or red?

Tasty Penguins ? Foolish. Unwise. Misguided. No no no, your only problem(s) involve(s) <deleted>, <deleted>, <deleted>, <deleted>, <deleted>, <deleted>, and a painful, prolonged demise. Eating Penguin indeed. Ohohoho.
Really, you couldn't have known that Penguins Are The Most Venomous Creature In All Existence.

Sad thing is, I've got some books that are so old and obtuse, not many people have even heard of them.

Bibliophilia. To me, books are mere accesories, entourage. I take much rejoice in surrounding myself with books that I don't bother acquainting myself with. Really, who NEEDS books when there is such a think as the internet. It's synoptic as well as elaborate, complete, up to date and....cheap.

Your problem is that you only deal in absolutes... the series did not "suck ass" by any standards, whether it's the style you prefer or not. By the way, I know you liked Heroes Die... so if you haven't already, you should get Neuromancer by William Gibson, because it is the SHIT. And it's Stover's favorite book.Mandy wrote:That series by Martin sucks ass. Its a horrible mockery of fantasy mixed with a romance novel.

EDIT: Maybe if you distilled Eddings' 800 page epics down to 200 pages or so, they might be readable... but the writing is still crap.
Clavell is great, King Rat is one of my favorite books. Haven't gotten to Noble House yet, though I heard good things about it.
Reading "The Soft Machine" by William S. Burroughs, and then I'm gonna have to finish "The Flowers of Evil" for my school reading. Pretty gosh-darn interesting book, glad my school is coming to its senses.

King Rat and Shogun are two of my favorite books, but all of Clavell's are good. Whirlwind is pretty good too, even if it deals with finns.Naked_Lunch wrote:Clavell is great, King Rat is one of my favorite books. Haven't gotten to Noble House yet, though I heard good things about it.

Bull-fucking-shit. Mieville's King Rat was about a fucking bunch of goth ravers. Dancing. That is not cool. China Mieville is an amazing author, but that book sucked.Franz Schubert wrote:China Mieville's King Rat > other King Rat
Watership Down gave me nightmares when I was a kid. The movie was even worse. Poor bunnies.
