Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
This is the Thread About Books and Literature.

Think I'm just gonna read a sequel and hten pretend the other book is a prequel that was released after.
I haven't read Grave Sight, but yeah, the first is mostly a weird mystery book. I give the series some points because it's set in my state. I also just like the idea of vampires "outing" themselves and the consequences of such. I mean, it's not fantastic fiction, but it's entertaining.
It's true. Where Gaiman is involved, there is no need for that kind of emotion. Bring your smiles and puppy dog flowers, or we kill you.
Also, Anasi Boys isn't so much of a sequel that you really need to have read American Gods first. It stands perfectly well on its own, and I imagine it will be just as fun reading AG second as it was to read it first.
I don't understand why but Finnish people just can't make a straight translation.
So instead it's called The Spidergod.
What the fuck?
It translates without a hitch!
I clicked out of the thread, paused, and came back to make sure I actually saw this.
Reading Imajica is like drilling a hole in your skull so that can Clive Barker can fuck your brain.
Huh, me too. What's the scoop on Little Brother (or as much as you know not having actually, you know, read it yet)?
it's not a direct sequel, there's one character that appears in both novels but they are totally independent stories.
You should still read American Gods though because it's amazing.
You don't care about Coltaine?
what the fuck is wrong with you boy.
Also Fiddler is the best.
I need to pick this series up. I'll grab the first one this weekend maybe.
Coltaine and Fiddler are cool. I like Iskaral Pust as well.
I can see why this series gets compared to Ice and Fire, but I haven't really connected with the characters yet. I don't really care who lives or dies, I mostly just look forward to what crazy magic god stuff will go down next.
In ASOIAF I'm constantly worried if my favorite characters are gonna die, which factions will prevail, and if the people I hate will get theirs. Malazan just seems to be lacking something.
ASOIAF is much more character driven, while Malazan is very very plot driven, and the cast is so goddamn huge.
though the ending was honestly really confusing at first and I had to re-read it a couple of times before everything clicked
also, now that I've checked the Wiki page for it, I knew there was a reason it started to feel like a Doctor Who story after a certain point

Sexy vampires: the new Hoth?
it's why vampires are the least awesome form of undead now
any major dude will tell you
never was big into pirates or ninjas
at least ninjas that don't play shiny red guitars
Zombies just haven't become big enough in mainstream movies that people are tired of them. They inhabit their own genre, and people lap that up
Also reading Summer Knight, I like it so far.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
not as good as zombie rye though
this crisis on infinite earths novelization is pretty good though
after this I am going to read The Professor and The Madman: A Tale Of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dicitionary
any major dude will tell you
it looks like it's from rocko's modern life
any major dude will tell you
I DEMAND QUALITY
