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

executioneer Jan 21st, 2011 07:34 PM

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

Fathom Zero Jan 22nd, 2011 05:01 AM

good synopsis and stuff

executioneer Jan 22nd, 2011 05:21 AM

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

Fathom Zero Jan 22nd, 2011 05:48 AM

kahljorn Jan 22nd, 2011 05:18 PM

sounds like the sirens of titan but with rich dudes :O

executioneer Jan 22nd, 2011 06:12 PM

does sirens of titan have a sequence where the main character takes a bunch of meth and starts hallucinating horrifying shit

Zhukov Jan 22nd, 2011 08:13 PM

What a good book you have chosen to read.

kahljorn Jan 22nd, 2011 11:09 PM

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

Fathom Zero Jan 23rd, 2011 12:19 AM

Sounds unique.

kahljorn Jan 23rd, 2011 03:12 AM

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

Zhukov Jan 27th, 2011 03:52 AM

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.

Fathom Zero Jan 31st, 2011 02:04 PM



Reading comics sucks because you always finish them the same day you get them. :(

Shrubfest Feb 2nd, 2011 07:29 PM

The entire plot line and multiple endings of the first Silent Hill game. Tired now.

Fathom Zero Feb 26th, 2011 03:37 PM

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.

Babs Mar 2nd, 2011 10:32 PM

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?

Big McLargehuge Mar 10th, 2011 04:46 PM

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 ended up reading through the entire series before completing any of them.

I love that book, one of my favourites.

Homestuck.

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.
