Re: What Are You Reading?
I read the Three Body Problem, expecting a lot of menage a troi. I was disappointed. So put it toward the bottom.
In the meantime, I've been reading The Golden Compass, because I never read that shit as a child. And I'm kinda glad, 'cause a lot of this stuff would have gone over my head as a naive child. This gets intense.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.

Re: What Are You Reading?
If it's three human body problems you want, you should read Perdido Street Station. The human on human-with-cockroach-head sex is the most tantalizing, pulse pounding I've ever read!
In all seriousness, don't. That shit was fucking disgusting. I know new weird books are supposed to make you queasy, but that was ridiculous.
Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

The protagonist's love interest. I imagined her a bit different though. Blonde with blue eyes. Oh, and a human head
Suck it, China Mieville!
Going down the reading list of enlightened intellectuals leads to some strange places.Last edited by TheEconomist; 02-07-2016 at 03:58 PM.

When it comes to trippy scifi, give me New Wave any day over this new fetishistic material. Terminal Beach rocked.

I just read Farmer in the Sky again. It makes me happy.
