Re: Re: I finally have something to mention!

I read Icarus Hunt in one sitting at the local library. Great read and a fairly decent, inventive (to me at least) story.

Yep that's one I was referring to. I?d also suggest the Conquers trilogy (why does it always have to be a trilogy and who?s to blame!).

I?ve got Angelmass waiting to be read. My brother said it was good, but that something the military stuff was a bit much.

So you're following up Mieville's dark fantasy novel set on the open seas with Melville's dark fantasy novel set on the open seas? Interesting.

You've read Perdido Street Station, right? I'm a little evangelistic about that book.

And it was compeltely be accident. I picked up Moby Dick more out a juvenile competive urge {my GF is starting book 3 of Prousts' In Search of Lost Point... err Time} than a powerful desire to read it now...

But it does make an interesting pairing... kinda symmetrical

And I've read Perdido. Liked it a great deal. But, putitng it down notwithstanding, I think I like The Scar more... its the best allegory portraying Stalinist Russia pursuing the Bomb as a floating amalgam of pirate ships pursuing a magic uber-whale in turn so they can strip-mine a crack in reality that I've read.

Carroll, huh? Read about him, never read him. Is he anything like Terry Bisson or Lethem... I gotten that impression somehow.

Just started The More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe omnibus a couple of days ago. I been meaning to read it for years. Now I'll understand the inside jokes.

Lackey & Guon's Summoned to a Tourney was really good. It had everything: magic, elves, psychics, secret gov't operations, shadowy demon creatures... very, very good.
