caffeine Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 For the last couple of months I've been picking up alot of Stephen King work. Last one i read was a collection of some of his short stories, Everything's Eventual. Definately a good choice for those who are typically short on time, but wouldn't mind reading a quick good story every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennydykstra Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by dudebra1@Apr 5 2005, 03:03 PM just finished The Cruise of the Dazzler by Jack London, it was pretty entertaining. I'm starting Before Adam by Jack London now, and I'm about half way through The Bible as History by Werner Keller. yeah, I like Jack London... Quoted post One of London's better books is "Martin Eden"-turn of the century San Francisco tale about a young blue collar guy who falls in love with a middle class beauty and has large doubts as to his self-worth which eventualy leads to...ahh but you'll just have to read it. Another good book about turn of the century San Francisco is "McTeague" by Frank Norris.

Vanity Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Last night in ROM, Space Knight: ROM was able to be seperated from his cyborg armor and given his humanity. He decided to turn his back on his past as a space knight and leave it to others.. and seek his lost love. However, the place he was given his humanity was a nuclear test site, and he started to decay.... turns out that his lost love took the place of his Space Knight counterpart, Starshine, and some other robot took over his ROM armor. Starshine was under the spell of a sorcerer, and was forced to kill ROM, but ended up actually killing the other guy. As ROM was dying, he was transported back into his cyborg armor.. turns out he was actually just a clone of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post [/b] yeah. it is really hard to follow at times. most of pynchon's books have giant companions or analysis books written by other people to go with them. i really just appreciate his writing more than even the story. dude has a way with words. really, the only thing that keeps me reading is some of the phrases and descriptions he might use next. "She could carry the sadness of the moment with her that way forever, see the world refracted through those tears, those specific tears, as if indices as yet unfound varied in important ways from cry to cry." i'm an english major, so i'm into this crap...otherwise, yeah, i completely agree that it's difficult at times to get through.
