Great book, but I feel like this one and A Feast For Crows are "the eye of the hurricane." First 3 books were really intense, then it calmed down a little bit only to get even crazier for Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring.

The series as a whole has been phenomenal. Don't think I ever experienced something so epic. Everyone should drop what they're reading and start A Song of Ice & Fire.

As suggested earlier in this thread. Fucking immense (especially for someone such as myself who is a pesky American without much knowledge regarding the history of this continent as it was entirely brushed aside in my schooling and I just recently took initiative to rectify that and become familiar).

I find narrative histories such as this of different countries and continents and whatnot verrry intriguing so if you guys have recommendations akin to shit like this lemme know.

ARE THERE BLACK PEOPLE IN THE BOOK?

Just stop right now and move straight onto him. Gibson is a class above Frank Herbert.

After a bit of a break from reading novels, I finally started Neuromancer and basically blew through it in a few hours this weekend. Utterly, utterly fantastic book.

Count Zero is ordered, should be here by Wednesday, which means I need to find something to read in the mean time. Probably one of the latest Terry Pratchett books I haven't read yet.

You would also probably like Zodiac by Neal Stephenson and if you haven't read Snowcrash yet, you should.

oldschool sci-fi

Posted by netroM on Nov-08-2011 00:20:

On and off reading Isaac Asimov - The Complete Stories: Volume I atm. Some cool stories to be found
After reading both volumes I'm gonna read The Complete Robot and then I'm gonna change it up by reading some H.P. Lovecraft.

I actually haven't read anything by Neal Stephenson. Have a few of his books on my list, though.

Posted by Halcyon+On+On on Nov-08-2011 01:07:

Snow Crash is excellent. It's appropriately spastic.

Posted by Ted Promo on Nov-08-2011 02:41:

Cryptonomicon is pretty neat too :3

Posted by Ted Promo on Nov-08-2011 02:43:

Also, anyone ever read the Thomas Covenant series and/or the Gormenghast trilogy?

Which should I do first, if at all? Besides my dad.

Been doing a bit of reading lately and about to do a lot more now that I'm on break..

Count Zero wasn't quite on par with Neuromancer, but was still quite good. I felt that it fell apart a bit at the ending, but still enjoyed it. Mona Lisa Overdrive went back to being as good as Neuromancer, though. Really enjoyed how it all came together.

Finally read Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Very enjoyable, now finishing up some short stories from Stevenson that the publishers threw into the back of the book.

I'm so good at describing art.

Waiting for Gibson's Bridge Trilogy to come in the mail sometime next week. though also have quite a stack of stuff to get through as it is.

Currently reading Margaret Atwood's 'The Year of the Flood'. About to start Game of Thrones, which I got for my bday.

I've been reading TA. It drags on a bit at times, but the random appearances of a guy on a skateboard propelling himself along by groin-thrusts more than makes up for it, IMO.
