I cannot believe people put novels such as The Martian Chronicles by Bradbury or The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand as the WORST books they've ever read. Did you guys just sleep through the novels?
I'll grant you the fact that you may not have enjoyed these books much, but naming it as WORST...
Haha, I think this is totally a societal issue.
Anna definitely became somewhat paranoid about what everyone thought of her and how she thought she should act.
I wonder if the fact that Stepan got away with the adultery the first time was reason he continued living the way he did. Sure...
Yeah, I think this is one of the reasons why Levin had such a hard time fitting in with all those boisterous and power-hungry politicians at the election.
There is Levin, who is actually writing a book about how to properly manage a farmland with paid peasants. Remember when Levin had that...
Hi everyone, just finished Anna Karenina this afternoon. Phew -- what an enormous read it turned out to be. Took me somewhere between 1.5-2 months to read it.
I also read the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translated version and thought that they did a fantastic job. In case anyone...
I was given his Sacred Arias album a couple years ago as a gift. I think he is a talented classical vocalist but I must admit I prefer instrumental far more than vocal music.
Every respectable sci-fi library should have a copy of Alfred Bester's-The Stars My Destination. I'd also suggest some Ray Bradbury, HG Wells and Jules Verne if she has any.
This has turned into an interesting discussion.
Ainulindale is right in most cases about the marketing ploy and the whole look about single-turned-multi book series'. Even Ainulindale's comment about Brooks is bang on! but that's another topic altogether. Can anyone say Eddings too?
I...
What says that he can't live another 10-20 years? He does have the best doctors and care staff to look after him and as far as I know, is still quite healthy.
Defintely not!
I get quite indignant when I see someone reading Return of the King or some equivalent novel only to admit not having read the previous novels. I feel as though it's a disgrace to the effort the author exhibited in writing the series. Sometimes I think it's just a quick...
Read this book last fall and totally loved it.
Was my first and only read thus far of anything by Clive Barker but will definitely read some of his other works in the future. I happened to get the Imajica version with the glossary and illustrations in the back which I would reccomend getting...
The only Heinlein novel I have read is Farmer In The Sky, which is actually one of his very early novel's. I thought it was interesting to read; what with the fact it was written pre-Sputnik and had all sorts of interesting ideas about space travel and space habitation. Some of them seem quite...
Hi Dazr, I'm not familiar with the story you've mentioned but I thought I'd post this 'just incase'.
There is a rather large collection of short stories that are called the Wild Card series. Various authors, some unknown and some quite famous, write on various characters and settings all...
Hi Braddock, no I haven't read either of these authors let I am familiar with both of them.
I think you meant Louis L'amour who writes a good mix of fiction; anything from medieval to more contemporary work. The Kerbouchard novel The Walking Drum is supposed to be his most appealing novel yet...
I honestly believe that one would have to read this novel two or three times (at the very least) in order to get a respectable grasp of the conflicts, cultures and ideas that are offered.
Although I started this novel about three weeks ago, I almost tipped out of my chair due to the irony that the Book of the Month novel was also one by Barker.
Clive Barker is preceded by a reputation of having a vivid imagination. An imagination blessed with the vocation of creating volatile...
