    As soon as I clicked on this thread I was going to post and tell people to read Snow Crash. It's been forever since I've read it, don't know what made me think of it.... Then I see your post



    READ IT!

    I'm reading Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (James Joyce) and Great Expectations (Charles Dickens).

    Both of them really hard to start though.

    I love it so much, and The Lost World is good as well. Malcolm's morphine ruminations are delightful

    great expectations is great if you can stand watching him grow up a little

    then it turns into a sick little british soap opera

    oh it was still interesting. It got crazy with the genetics though. I mean, some scientists start making monkey/animal hybrids in it.

    I also really liked State of Fear

    Wizard and Glass is so slow... I can't get into it.

    I robot is good I just haven't opened it in a while.

    World War Z is good but if the whole book is written in interviews I'm gonna get bored eventually.

    Snowcrash is good too, but a tad confusing since it's obviously alternate history.

    I dunno what the other two books are gonna be like I haven't read any of them yet.

    I thought it was pretty sickening that theres a book out based purely on what one person thinks is going to happen in the last book.

    Whats worse is that there are probably people stupid enough to buy something like that.

    SO GOOD.

    I am currently reading Days Between Stations by Steve Erickson. "When Lauren was a small girl, she would stand in the Kansan fiels and call the cats." What a great opening sentence.
