La Chanson De Roland wouldn't be too old, or dry for you would it? I liked it.

Roadside Picnic

Ordered the book after playing STALKER.

Robert A. Heinlein puts a bad taste in my mouth. He's a competent author and has written decent stories, but still tends to feature enough bullshit to turn me off from his work (I remember particularly hating "The Roads Must Roll"). Still, I do at least want to get around to reading Stranger in a Strange Land to see what the big deal really is.

I certainly consider "The Last Question" to be a classic, and "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" is fine fun, but the rest, while interesting, are just silly and mostly not well written. Which, really, being well written wasn't entirely necessary anyway, but it helps quite a lot, especially when the last story there is cringe-worthy with its style.

Read somewhere once that Heinlein's books are either great or terrible, and if you just pick at random you'll most probably have a strong reaction, but no telling which it'll be. (And he does have a few ideas he's very fond of that he tends to shove into most places. If those bother you too much, you'll probably be put off by most of his works, yes.)

Stranger was a good one though.

Depending on one's opinion of Heinlein's views, yeah, he can feel like he is forcefeeding his ideas to you. Stranger in a Strange Land is definitely one of his biggest offenders, though some of his works, like Farmer in the Sky, aren't nearly so bad and are more entertaining in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm currently reading a nonfiction book, Atrocities: The 100 Deadliest Episodes in Human History. Matthew White is a librarian who compiles statistics for fun and noticed that of all stats, people tended to argue over his body counts the most. He writes with a humorous flair over the course of each topic, some of which get numerous pages, some of which get a paragraph(hey, 300,000 dead isn't nearly as big as the 66 million dead in WW2), but he also notes that his stats aren't perfect, and he makes a point to call out the different views on certain death counts. Even if you disagree with some or even most of his assessments, he's a pleasure to read.

The gods of war from Conn Igulden

Just finished "More Than Human," by Theodore Sturgeon - I'm not sure how I managed to avoid reading this classic over the past thirty years or so - and jumped right in to "Five Weeks in a Balloon," by Jules Verne. I haven't read Verne since I was a kid, and I'm looking forward to getting into some of his stuff.

I am actually reading some classics (at least i consider them classics ;) ): Hannibal by Thomas Harris and Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice. I am also almost done with the second book in the game of thrones series so i will probably be starting the third one in a couple of days.

Finally started Topor's "The tenant" (le locataire chimérique), which film adaptation by Polanski is one of my favorite movies (as basically every Polanski film is). And I love Topor's style. This book is a great exemple of the limitations of the audiovisual - it's like suddenly getting one more dimension to a very nice flat representation.

Finished Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice and starting a very much due read of his Gravity's Rainbow. Re-reading Carver's Cathedral, Vian's L'Arrache Coeur and a small poetry anthology by some underground alt-lit Portuguese poets, called in love with archimedes, briefly and vária.

Masters of Doom. Its actually an amazing book. That and its about one of my favorite games ever. I recommend it to anybody, as it in detail covers the development of DOOM, and the monster that was Daikatana.

Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October.

Stephen King's Dr. Sleep finally.
