Fuck, sometimes you people are hopeless.
Go read some fucking Harry nigger Potter then.

Have you read Harry Potter?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Lest Darkness Fall is excellent.
Agree. It is what all the trash alt-hists want when they write. Hell, Stirling even wrote an "end note" story to it...never had the desire to read the Apotheosis of Martinus Padua
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I don't read Harry Potter for the same reason I don't read Susan Sontag or Dave Eggers: I hate the people who do.

Read some scifi instead.  Larry Niven amuses me.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Darth Wagtaros

Sprague is awesome.

But Kildar is more an 'urban fantasy' than military sci fi.  It gets classified that sometimes because of some subplot about a mutant plague.
PDH!

I guess that got left out in the review I read.

Don't even think about reading it Koera, the main character is a crazed rapist.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Didn't she like those books written by that really fat guy?  Isn't rape the same as saying hello in those things?

He is a vampire dude.  The chicks fell to his Glamor and were willing.

Read the Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.

I really tried to read that book but I found it really hard to get into! I've been meaning to give it another try for a couple of years now.

Korea

Tim, I loved the last book series you recommended for me though.

THere's a lot of background the first 50 pages, but once the adventure gets going with the monster attack it's awesome.

The Eye of the World would have been better as a standalone rather than the hook into a rather tedious series.
