Wizard’s First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They’re all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.
At a certain point it’s clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.
Needs more Banks! And take Seveneves and cast it into the fire…
That’s an awesome story, good choice of book for that haha.
I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It’s just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)
Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an “I liked it!”, that’s all I meant. :)
Yeah it’s probably my “pick just one” best book. It’s a wild ride! I’m interested in what you think when you finish!
Three Musketeers is different but I also really liked it. It’s very amusing/funny.
Up production of gas to profit off the surge in demand seems likely.
I agree with you actually, death is an inevitability and we’re obsessed with pretending it’s not.
However from a civilization standpoint, maybe we can come up with some sort of alternative than letting folks pass away alone and not be found for weeks. Allowing people to choose the time and manner of their deaths is a start–who wants to painfully die from a metastatic liver tumor?
Yeah, I’ve heard the code is a total mess, maybe that’s a blocker.
Gw2 is still awesome. Community is cool, which is why I keep sticking around.
His ability to short out lightsabers was another Thrawnism, cortosis weave. Like Thrawn, largely wasted and apparently thrown in for no real reason.
It was… fine I guess. I liked a lot of the actors, but the plot was completely squandered. I finished it, but it’s completely skippable.
They had a chance to tell an interesting story at at least one point in the show but settled for the most boring and pointless story beats instead.
The only book they could maybe get right is Consider Phlebas and maybe The State of the Art stories. Anything that features The Culture heavily would be a nightmare.
It’s a shame, Look to Windward is a beautiful story.
Relationships surviving opening are based on communication and openness, talk about everything now before you’re on the other side of it and doing damage control.
Special Circumstances :)
Talk to Lara about your having a crush on Nami. Now, not later.
The fact that you say “drug use” as a blanket statement proves that you don’t know what you’re on about. There are a lot of drugs with a lot of effects, and even most controlled substances have approved medical applications (opiates for example).
You should look at drug scheduling in the US, which mostly captures if drugs have a medical application.
On a personal note, I hope you never have to face the kind of pain that makes you consider legal or illegal drugs as an outlet.
This is funny, but the beer bottle in his hand should be green. :)
Slowly? There are mind controlling sex ninjas.
They (Rs) voted to slash FEMA funding like a couple of weeks ago…
