It was pretty good.
I think afterward I might read 2001 Space Odyssey. Seeing as it's my favourite movie, I feel I should read the book.
Or I might read A Russian Affair by Anton Chekhov. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.
I got every single question correct.
i may just think that because i loved the movie
but i fucking loved the book
loved
2001
"stellar"
i crack myself up
totally on accident
accidentally awesome
edit - aww potato, you're a star.
problem is i already have like 4 books in a box that i need to start reading, but i suck and never make the time
every time i think about how i should be reading i recognize how much i suck
at least i've been reading through tank girl
that's something.....right?
The structure is a bit weird too, with every even chapter (called interludes) being set in the past and every odd chapter in the present. The present chapters focus on the main plot, while the interludes are one-shots that help refine characters and explain backstory. Haven't decided if I like that yet, but the mere fact that I look forward to each interlude just as much as continuing the main plot says something.
There are some other flaws besides that, but not a lot, and they're all to do with how it's (as I understand) the author's first book. If his first is this good, Scott Lynch will be worth following.
yeah
It's called "Twilight Blood" and it's about sexy vampires.
I figured we could discuss it here since this is the thread about books and literature.
i will post one internationally
edit: only one!
I meant to say when you posted it in the other thread, and then I forgot, but I am totally interested in seeing your magazine when it goes out. It seems like a neat thing, and I... like... things that are neat? Is I guess what I am saying.
Hurr.

if i'm making blog posts and facebook status updates about printing some dodgy images on adhesive paper, i won't stop talking about some actual content for weeks

I read the first one and...eh. It was just okay. Maybe they get better, but it was basically a convoluted mystery novel with a few fangs up in it. I felt a bit let down by the ending.
I liked Grave Sight better.
Crazy awesome shit be happening, but I don't really care about any of the characters...
Are you suggesting that True Blood isn't the single greatest thing HBO has ever done?
Little did I know it was a sequel before I bought it
That just means you get to read American Gods.
We're starting The Forever War next, I think, and I remember someone talking about it being good in the last book thread.
