Oh, nice read. I miss one of the later books and the last few books are on hold while I am waiting for me to find it. Maybe I should have bought all ten in one volume when I saw it new for €15 but I did not want such a thick book.

-------------------------------

Me, I am slowly reading The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. So far it is nowhere the standard of the first book or some other of his better books.

I've got the ten books in one volume :D I got Lions of Al-Rassan and the Chronicles of Amber as a gift ~10 years ago and although I always had the desire to read them, I never actually read them. but now the time has come!!

Good choice. The editing of that all-in-one volume is atrocious. It continues to annoy me every time I pick it up for a reread.

in preparation for 'Solo: A Star Wars Story', reading 'Honor among thieves' by James S A Corey.

I don't know about Kay, but in case of Amber it may be 10y to late to enjoy the reading. I didn't like it, I've found it, hm, infantile?

can't say anything about Amber, but Al-Rassan is a normal adult book, nothing infantile yet :D

Article: Neuer saukalter Krieg ausgebrochen! by Jens Lehrich
Satire about a new cold war.

Yes, they ate something special. I have a couple compilaton volumes, with stories from the eighties IIRC. The Unwritten Book being one of them. Surrealistic and downbeat. There is nothing really like them.

With comic happens as with science fiction: there are written stories are way beyond what the movies show. But more money leads to less risky ventures. Although now and them there are notable exceptions, such as the likes of 2001 or GATTACA. In the comics department we have Logan, maybe Darkman, or the adaptation of Watchmen, that was not bad (although much is lost).



It aches somehow, to have missed the fun, just because you outgrow stuff that you missed, and that you could have enenjoyed. But, probably, if it is really good it holds.

If you don't mind the question, do the books after the first follow in the same vein or they are better/worse/with another direction?

In my case it was first reading of Amber. No nostalgia factor here (:
