Bird Bird Bird Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Ready Player One: Halfway through. Although it isn't as groundbreaking as the media touted it to be, the 80s trivia does bring a smile on your face depending on what you know. Simple, casual read.

Aftrunner Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Reading Escape from Camp 14. Its depressing and terrifying in equal measures. Nothing will probably ever make you feel so glad about not being born in the sh*thole North korea is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 half way through Ready Player One. Really liking it. writing is lucid and really hits the spot if you are a video game (erstwhile, in my case) junkie and/or a pop culture nut (so very me). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbpoovannagamer Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 has anyone here read any of Tracy Hickman's novels ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbpoovannagamer Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Read the book Avatar ripped off! Avatar may be the highest grossing movie of all time, and you probably have heard how the storytelling wasn’t that original, but now you can really find out how unoriginal it was. Just as Cameron’s “dream” of a Terminator rising out of the fire actually turned out to be a couple of Outer Limits episodes written by Harlan Ellison, Avatar is startlingly similar to a 1972 Ben Bova novel titled “The Winds of Altair” The classic SciFi novel tells the story of humans trying to terraform the planet of Altair IV, where they cannot breath the air. The natives of this planet are a cat-like race (hmm, the Na’vi in Avatar look a little like cats) and Humans are able to transfer their minds into these cats in order to explore the planet safely. Throughout the course of the novel, the main character inhabits the body of one of these cats (just like in Avatar) and grows to side with the natives against the Military in the story. Due to the success of Avatar, this science fiction classic is now back in print. You can find it at any bookstore (saw a copy at Barnes & Noble the other day), or grab it off Amazon in either print of Kindle form. http://furiousfanboys.com/2010/08/read-the-book-avatar-ripped-off/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 it happens brah. Even inception ripped off heavily from a duck tales comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 No thanks. Its bad enough I had to sit through the movie (which was barely tolerable because of the FX and the 3D) I refuse to read a book about that garbage of a storyline.

deohboeh Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Anyone read the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix or The Kingkiller Chronicles by Peter Rothfuss? If so could you suggest similar books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I recently read Mistborn trilogy and Kingkiller 1 and 2 (Patrick Rothfuss), loved them both. You should try Brandon Sanderson's other books - The Way of Kings and Warbreaker I tried reading Wheel of Time series since Brandon was completing those, but gave up after the first book itself. Other good options are Riyria trilogy (Michael J Sullivan), recommended in this thread earlier and obviously Game of Thrones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 LOL. FWIW WoT kinda gets better after the first couple of books. Really picks up pace in the middle and then just completely loses its way towards the end. Havent read what Sandersons doing to the series though. I gave up around book 12. Black Company is worth looking into. Good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deohboeh Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks Elessar! I will definitely check out the Riyria revelations! Thanks Aftrunner! I will check Black Company out too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Tigre Chino Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Got a copy of Shailendra Singhs - F@?K Knows. Extremely underwhelming for all the buzz it got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
