Don't forget Orson scott card's writings are about how much he hates homosexuals

i didn't realize there was actually a book called game-players of titan. i thought you were being clever with the sirens of titan
|
nope it's about mankind getting 99% wiped out in a war (against aliens? although they said it was the chinese who used the weapon that killed most of humanity so idk) and there's this game that the rich dudes play where they bet cities and uh marriage is tied into it somehow
|
good synopsis and stuff
|
it's hard to synopsize a philip dick book without giving away spoilers :( ALSO I MIGHT HAVE TO REREAD IT AND I AM CURRENTLY SLIGHTLY TERRIFIED OF IT SO I'D RATHER NOT
|
eh true true
|
sounds like the sirens of titan but with rich dudes :O
|
does sirens of titan have a sequence where the main character takes a bunch of meth and starts hallucinating horrifying shit
|
What a good book you have chosen to read.
|
no i dont think it has that :lol I'll have to read it again to be sure though. I know there were a few scenes with hallucinations maybe and a mind control drug :O
|
Sounds unique.
|
dang i just remembered sirens of titan is by vonneguht and not pkdick :O
still the stories are strangely similar :O |
Currently, I am reading "House of Leaves", but it's a very complex read. It takes a lot of patience to get through it, and much like the house the book describes, while you may make progress in the book, it feels like you haven't moved forward at all.
In short, I love it. |
THE BOOK OF DIFFERING FONTS
|
Babel 17. It's another sci fi "masterpiece", it's by Sam R Delaney and it's quite good - if a little hard to concentrate on sometimes. Probably from the 50s or 60s or something like that, so it's better in that regard I guess.
|
Reading comics sucks because you always finish them the same day you get them. :( |
The entire plot line and multiple endings of the first Silent Hill game. Tired now.
|
I got a copy of the Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles, but I've yet to read it. I'm kinda excited - people I trust have said it's good.

Room by Emma Donaghue
It is from the perspective of a five year old child who is imprisoned in a room that he has never left, with his mother. In his mind only things in the room are "real" other things are "tv" and happen in "outer space". I am taking a break now because I don't want to be sad at the moment. |
I really want to give Room a try, always seamed like a good reed. Just curious, how did they end up in Room, or is that part of the whole story's central plot?
|
I have shelved it because i can tell it is going to be one of those books that fucks with you for days after finishing it. So i don't know yet.

I'm not really sure how to describe it; it's kind of a webcomic/choose your own adventure/animation/illustrated story hybrid, and it feels like something that could have only come from the internet. It's kinda fantastic, if a bit slow at the beginning. Neat music, too. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002722 http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/umbral-ultimatum |
