Dark_Knight Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If you want a super fucked up story about sex, then look no further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 ^for context : They accidentally killed their sex slave and fucked next to her corpse then the girl pissed on her corpse after they finished. Hands down the most graphic sex shit I’ve ever read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 listening to this it is okay but I think it's a few years too early. I reckon it's a 2015 book and he would have had far more to deal with even two years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Currently going through this collection of short stories. So incredibly well written. If you like scifi, and never read his works, I highly suggest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metronome Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 @Dark_KnightI'm about 75 pages in now. I hope it gets better, so far its not really my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Disappointing to hear, but that same worry is why I’ve put it on the back burner for so long. This is on deck. Should start it in the morning. It’s been compared to ‘The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt, which I loved. So hoping for good things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man wasn't known for his literary prowess or his modesty but it was somewhat interesting. Not as many war stories as you'd expect, lot of it is how he gained/lost band members throughout his musical history along with banging a lot of young chicks. Other than that what I remember most was that, surprisingly, he hated Ace of Spades and hated playing it live but did it because the fans love it.

Dark_Knight Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @metronomeIve read that middle one. The implications within suggest a very dark future for employment. Interesting read. Curious about the Dancers Lament. I want to explore adult fantasy more often, but I’m not too familiar with the genre, so I stay in my scifi lane. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This will be my read of the week, which is labeled as fantasy/horror. Excited to see what transpires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @Dark_Knight yeah, pretty grim, I have his latest book The Great Reset in the queue as well but wanted to read that one first. Dancer's Lament is sort of a pre-story to the epic Malazan: Book of the Fallen main story. If you want to check out a nice adult fantasy series look into that. Main story is 10 books and it's completed so there's no worry about being left on a cliffhanger. I have a little bit left of Naked Lunch. Not really my thing. Plenty of weird sex though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished this. There's a good bit of appendix which puts a lot of what this is in context, which makes me appreciate it more. Before I got to that there was a whole lot of 'what the fuck is this guy rambling about' I didn't know he was tight with Kerouac until after reading and that makes a lot of sense. If its on your to read list I'd say its worth reading, but I wouldn't rush to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to fuck with that malazan but I just couldn't get there. I gave up either 2nd or 3rd book. Maybe i'll get into it again. It was so fractured from the beginning in terms of how many characters there are to follow it might be hard for @Dark_Knight to start with. I feel like the cost of admission for this one is high and might turn him off. Mistborn series from Brandon Sanderson might be worth checking, its only 3 or 4 books so it will resolve without having to wait and its shorter so its not nearly the commitment. Not my favorite but fun enough of a read. The Way Of Kings is probably my favorite series to start but they just finished writing book 4 of 10 so its going to be a while before you get closure but most of the books wrap up decently enough. I never finished wheel of time and I'm thinking of starting it over. I need something new to listen to while working and i cant seem to commit to anything.

Eriksen really plunks you into the thick of it from the prologue of Gardens of the Moon and if you don't keep reading you just won't get a lot of questions answered. I really love the world he and Esselmont built though. Great payoff if you keep with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
