What We're Reading

Pandora Star was one of his best, and Judas Unchained has an awesome ending.  So you will like that arc, but most of Hamiltons stories have terrible endings.  I LOVED the Neutronium Alchemist series until the last 100 pages or so..... meh.  He is a great author though.

I loved his Greg Mandel books(Mindstar Rising being the first). Which is why I continued on with him.

I think he really knows how to develope characters very well, and he stays very consistant with the rules he makes for each of his story worlds.  I just think he writes very good sci-fi in general.  His ideas on space combat and nano-tech are awesome, and he tends to take it as far as he thinks the technology can go, unlike most authors who only create tech in their settings with a very limited scope.

Dont get me wrong.... I love the guy.  You happen to be reading the first of two of my absolute favorites (hamilton books).

On another note, just finished "The White Luck Warrior" by R. Scott Bakker.  Second book in the Aspect Emperor series.  It gets epic in this book, and was totally exciting pretty much the whole time.  That kind of unusual for this story arc (if you include the Prince of Nothing trilogy as part of the saga.... its all the same story).  I love the rich cannon he has created for this world, and I hope he finishes well.

William Gibson, Distrust that Particular Flavor.

  Oh man, oh man new Gibson.  Is it enjoyable?  I haven't read it.

I recently read K.J. Parker's Engineer trilogy volume one "Devices and Desires"
I think its better than George RR Martin. THe writing style is higher quality in my opinion.

This is my reading list. Feel free to recommend stuff and I'll add it to the recommended book and if I ever feel like trying some new book I might check up on it. This doesn't include even close to all the books I have, it's just the ones I'm planning to read in the near future.

well, you lack a bit of good french book!

I don't know if the traduction will be cool but try the Arsène Lupin by Maurice Leblanc

one of the few fantasy book I still read is the work by the Edding couple
David & Leigh Edding

maybe it's only the translation but I find them refreshing try the Belgariad and see if you like the style.

and for other book I always recommend classic because at least if it's cliché you can always say to yourself it was the first to do it!
so Defoe Robinson Crusoé and George Orwell Animal Farm if you haven't read them go for it!

Currently reading Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince.

"Before all else, be armed."

This guy's got some crazy stuff in his book, but he's got some good, sensible stuff in there, haha!

currently reading gunslinger by stephen king. sure is different.

[Vibe]

Currently Emperor series from Conn Iggulden, 4 books on the life of Julius Caesar. They're great if you like Roman era, although I'm a bit bothered that not everything is historically correct.
