metronome Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 @Dark_Knight yep wrapped southern reach up a little while ago. Thought it was a little bit of a slow burn to start but a good cliff hanger had me pretty invested in getting to the conclusion. He’s a neat writer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardRichieRich Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I am currently reading Mark Twain. I need to write an article on Life on the Mississippi. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be such a great work. Mark Twain never ceases to amaze me.

Wyeast Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Couldn’t decide if this belonged in the “book” thread or the “beer” thread. Books won. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardRichieRich Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Cool! I'm just now writing an article on this book. Maybe you can share your point of view too? I don't have too many skills in this area, but I'm a quick learner. I certainly don't get the beautiful design of this book yet. Yes, and I am more of a web designer, but I am using the template https://thegoodocs.com/freebies/newspaper-templates/ and plan to keep doing better! All in all, I'll be glad to talk to you sometime. Sorry for the heap of information, but I'm just pleasantly surprised that there are people here who read such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 artemis was great! I dunno if Andy weir's science is accurate but i like how he blends it in a bit. I like how his scientific stuff is always pretty plausible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Listening to a podcast with Neal Stephenson right now, so I may do an audible and read something of his. Mostly unfamiliar with his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I really like Stephenson as well. I've read Cryptonomicon and Seveneves. Both very good in their own right but if I was going to suggest one to read first I'd say Cryptonomicon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just based on the synopsis I was expecting a clever murder mystery and not all the satire. Nice surprise, very funny, very apt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
