Princess Bride rocks. I have to read the b...Dude. Princess Bride rocks. I have to read the book, now, too. Vampires$? Another one I'll have to check out. <BR/><BR/>I've been all over the Vampire Gumshow line by Laurell K Hamilton, but after reading most of a recent book we picked up by accident - no vampires, just faeries and porn - I may be soured to her completely. You know, in the same way that The Firm and A Time To Kill made a good movie the the rest of Grisham's work shows he's filling out a contract. This Faerie book I just couldn't finish. It's crap, all disjointed scenes, leaps of faith, impossible physics and a plot more shallow than Doom3.<BR/><BR/>I re-read<BR/> - William Gibson<BR/> - Katherine Kurtz (Deryni)<BR/> - HGTTG<BR/> - Larry Niven (Ringworld, Integral trees, mainly)<BR/><BR/>I need to get some Isaac Asimov and Phillip K Dick. I don't have any! Well, maybe a few short story collections (incl I Robot), but nothing really excellent.<BR/><BR/>I don't even have Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep.<BR/><BR/>And finally, what chu talkin' about not updating very often? Of the 4 blogs which aren't dead, specialized or irrelevant, which I update regularly (general, personal, techie/ranting and work), only the last one hasn't been updated recently, and only because I've been busy.<BR/><BR/>And mine are all crap anyway. I'm the most boring person I know.<BR/><BR/>Now, Joey, on the other hand, has no excuse.Lunchboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494086212866152289noreply@blogger.com
