Just finished "Nigh Omnipotent" by A. Lee Martinez. It was okay. Kind of a mediocre book really. He's done much better than this. 2/5.

It was what the film Stalker and those STALKER games were based on.

I always loved the idea of Pripyat as an artificial, alien place, so I dug into it. I've not read it in a while, so I can't remember how dense it was. I remember enjoying it a bit, though. I think there's a PDF on Google Books of the entire thing.

Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub, sequel to the Talisman. Good read, but King gets rambly.

I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land again. One of my favorite books. Also, I really didn't like the end of Black House. It was just...a dumb ending.

Dune! Where have you been all my life.

Has anyone here got an opinion on Brian Herbert's continuation of the series? I'm on Children of Dune and I can see his books waiting in the distance, making me nervous. What are they like?

CTHULHU the Mythos and Kindred Horrors written by Robert Howard. These stories are pretty cool, considering that they are Cthulhu stories written by the creator of Conan.

Can't help you but I've been meaning to get into the Dune series. Haven't found the first one around, so I've put it off.

I just finished Starship Troopers, which was good, and amazing when you consider when it was written. I read it entirely while lying on grass in the sun.

My friend has read through them and said the continuation ones are pretty good too. Worth reading at least.

Currently reading the latest "Wheel of Time."

I didn't say this about the last one because I had no way of knowing how much Robert Jordan had written before he passed... but now I must say that the editors did choose a fairly good replacement. He has the tone, voice and pacing of Robert Jordan down.

Unfortunately... he has the PACING of Robert Jordan down...

Seriously... could they beat the same dead horses over and over and over again in this series? And I swear that it seems halfway through the series they got bored with the lead character and just gave up on him. It's the only series I've ever seen where the protagonist starts becoming a MINOR character! He's a set piece.

At least with the George Martin "Songs of Ice and Fire" series it was ALWAYS an ensemble narrative.

It seems every second thing out of Russia is a post apocalyptic nightmare. There must be three different STALKER settings at least.

Finished the last Frank Herbert Dune novel which, hilariously, is the only book in the series to end in a cliffhanger. I then tried one of his son's continuations of the series Hunters of Dune. I've been worried about these continuations chiefly because the appeal of Dune isn't really the cast or the world they in habit but how Frank tells the story. I worried another writer might miss this and I was right to worry. Also Brian and his friend Kevin are terrible writers. No offense to 10,000 Volt Ghost's friend but this shit is garbage.

I'm finally reading Ender's Game, and I'm about a third of the way through. I like it so far, but it's not the amazing piece of literature I expected, at least not yet of course. The whole "smug little supergenius who is better than everyone at everything" thing is a bit annoying, especially since I have a few buddies who actually believe that they're Ender in real life.
