Grove Troublemaker Speaking of Greg Rucka, I'm reading his latest, Alpha, about military intel trying to bust up a terrorist attack on a Disney like amusement park. I'm not really into that Tom Clancy kind of thing, and it's better done in his Queen & Country series, but it's still good stuff. Also reading the Riverworld series by Phillip Jose Farmer. Everyone who ever lived and died wakes up to find themselves along the banks of a river that covers an alien planet. Humanity works to rebuild society starting from stone age tech, and Sir Richard Franicis Burton and Sam Clemens AKA. Mark Twain, along with cast of other historical characters, travel up the River to try to find out how and why they were put there. Classic fantasy. And lastly a book on unusual Poker tips and stories, although Black Jack is more of my game. _________________ They have taken the hearts and minds of our leaders.

I know nothing of the Lord of the Rings saga, so just thought I detected some sarcasm in regards to the upcoming trilogy. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Honestly, more stuff actually happens in The Hobbit than I expected, Tolkien just hadn't fully given into to his insanely detailed impulses yet. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Dog-Poop_Walker Master Joined: 28 Jan 2012 Posts: 686 Location: Official Med. Grove Troublemaker What a bizarre meta that book produced, eh? Not only was it prescient to CCTV taking over London, but it turned the concept into the reality TV show Big Brother where citizens in their homes are watching a show about watching citizens in their homes. So who is Big Brother? Read the book and you'll get your mind blown about how true that TV show is... probably in a way that was so far from what the producers intended. I'm reading Batman and Philosophy. I've sent away for Star Wars and Philosophy. I love the pop culture and philosophy series. Those two are at my top, along with Terminator and Lost. I've read the Matrix, that one's pretty good. _________________ They have taken the hearts and minds of our leaders.

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5774 Location: Missouri Reading Death Warmed Over by Kevin J. Anderson. It's about a Zombie private investigator in a world where an event called The Big Uneasy caused Unnaturals to begin appearing. It's pretty interesting so far. Kind of a mix between Chinatown and a horror movie. It's not a kiddie book either. _________________

I almost finished it and it's still as boring as it was from the start. I'm an action person and a book about a bunch of people trekking through the forest just doesn't do it for me. _________________ We fight, we earn, we never learn.

All depends on what you're going for. For a casual reader Tolkien is a nightmare. I'm a Lit major, those books are like heaven to me. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.
