Just got back from Barnes and Noble. What the **** is the deal with every fantasy book only coming in the Mass Paperback that tries to get the smallest pages as possible, with the fewest pages as possible, with the smallest print as possible? That pisses me off. I guess all my Fantasy will be on the Kindle. Here's my haul. Some of which were suggestions in this thread. (Post-Apoc on left / Sci-Fi on right)

The book I'm most upset that I didn't end up buying was Neuromancer, but it was $16 in the store and only $8 online, so I'll be going that route.

Also they didn't have Hyperion. WTF is up with that?

They had like every other iteration of that saga, except for the first one. There wasn't even an empty spot for it on the shelf.

Hey Buck, Triplanetary is free on Kindle. It is the first book in the "Lensman"series. I just grabbed it.




<=== on my Fire right now.

Used book stores are the best place to get classic sci-fi/fantasy.

You haven't read Dune, Buck?

Holy ****, I envy you. Such a good read. Dune Messiah and Children of Dune are really good, too.

Skip the rest of that shit. ROFL

I didn't start reading for fun until about 2 years ago. I didn't start seriously reading for pleasure until about 2 months ago. I have a lot to catch up on.

I read the Tovacs trilogy based of your suggestion a few years ago and it was easily some of the most purely entertaining stuff I have read.

You should read JAWS and BEAST by Peter Benchley, Buck.

I have both Leviathan Wakes and The Dragon's Path (that's Daniel Abraham's solo fantasy work) waiting on the shelf, but it'll probably be months before I get to them. I have 7 Shadows of the Apt books to finish first.

If you like the stupid inner monologues.

Not a big fan of his latest works though.

I've read Memory Sorrow and Thorn and To Green Angel Tower. Long books but full of detail and excellent story lines IMO.

All I know now is that I have a shit load of reading to do.

Also WWZ, I wouldn't recommend it unless you specifically want to read about Zombies.

I just like the story of Paul. Those three books bring it full circle.
