Cant recall if it was diaspora or terranesia by cam (4.00 / 1) #1 Sat Jul 19, 2008 at 04:58:33 PM EST

but I found one of those difficult to read for the same reasons.

Hancock (second try) by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #3 Sat Jul 19, 2008 at 07:52:38 PM EST

I agree - Hancock fell a little short because it couldn't decide if it was a farce, a black comedy or a drama. The villains were laughable until, suddenly, they weren't, and the power level thing was inexplicable. My son drew an interesting connection with Hancock's obsession with eagles, though, he thinks Hancock was Jupiter.

Obviously spoiler tags are too complicated for me to master.

But not ((spoiler: xxx)) and, when copying and pasting from one version of a post to another, the spoiled text gets un-spoiled.

Reading your husiary points out to me that since 1/1/08 I have read zero books and only bought two. I blame my job which takes up too much time and doesn't offer a good work-to-life balance.

Public transit + reading on public transit.

Films by Herring (4.00 / 1) #7 Sun Jul 20, 2008 at 02:57:48 PM EST

I think Hollywood has got a Surrey thing going at the moment. First of all, I see posters for a film about Leatherhead then on the side of a bus "Will Smith - Hancock" - with the Cheam thing. I was also thinking "Hey man, what you doin? That's nearly a motherfucking armful." I don't doubt that someone else has got there before me.

That was a bit random.

Dragon's Egg and The Integral Trees?

I loved the Integral Trees by Scrymarch (4.00 / 1) #12 Mon Jul 21, 2008 at 10:54:11 AM EST

Or big chunks of it.

I read it when I was about 14 though, like most Niven I'm afraid to revisit it now.

I liked the Integral Trees a lot by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #14 Mon Jul 21, 2008 at 02:00:39 PM EST

Though I haven't read it in a long time... like Scrymarch, I'd be a bit wary of going back to it.

I've heard of Dragons' Egg, but I've not read it yet.
