Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Tell me about it. I'm reading it right now. Once I'm done, I'll compare it to the film to see how much the film siphoned, and how much they skipped over.

I've heard good things. I even bought in on sale. Unfortunately, I've already read like four Mars books so I need a bit of breather to fully enjoy this book.
Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

Re: What Are You Reading?
No. I found the original X files as such a disappointing experience, I don't want to get into it again. Don't get me wrong, the show was interesting, but the ending was so half-hearted and without real conclusion that it was hard to bear. That, and they killed the Lone Gunmen. Honestly, it's like a Lost ending before Lost even existed.

That smells of retconning. Next!

Re: What Are You Reading?
I just got the following three from the library yesterday:
War Dogs, by Greg Bear.
Tuf Voyaging, by George R R Martin.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Mythology, by Robert Smith, PhD., and Nathan Brown.
I'm also looking for copies of The Golden Compass, and Moby's Dick.
Sorry, Econ, but they didn't have any more Matthew Stover books.
Aaand sold.

Re: What Are You Reading?
Greg Bear makes some interesting books, even if not executed all that well. Looks like an interesting book. That rating though ....
It's always entertaining in its own right to check out GRRM's older books. I'll have to look into that one. I bought his 'vampire' novel set in the 'racist' industrialization era america. I need to get to that one.
Bastards.Sorry, Econ, but they didn't have any more Matthew Stover books.
Rest In Peace, Old Friend.
