I'm going to look exactly like this and it's going to be sick.
just finished "the world at the end of time" by frederick pohl
starting - mistborn by brandon sanderson next
also found a 1st edition (in LITERALLY PERFECT CONDITION WTF) 2003 george RR martin book 3 , theyre already going for $100 and it was like $3 at a thrift store.
gonna hold on to it and after he dies the price is gonna skyrocket.
can post a pic if anyone cares
really enjoy thrifting for good editions of rare books and flipping them
Great book.
Have you read Hyperion by Dan Simmons yet? It is the best.

@SOPHIE have you read it?
I recommended it to Osiris before he passed and I think Nyte read it too.

not yet, it's really high up on my list of things to read though
i've watched a few 20 min videos that go into examining the cruciform story or other bits of the story
also really want to read the mote in god's eye and A Fire Upon the Deep
hyperion is definitely top tier and i wouldn't wait on reading it but so it goes
the malazan empire is also a top tier series

i have not. ill check it out
honestly i thought i was gonna enjoy diskworld too and reading that made me feel dumb so well see
Elaborate on diskworld
Like it was over your head or felt like it was for children?
There was a lot of complication at the beginning
in-sewer-ants
Mote in God's Eye and Hyperion are both great in the way they have a story that gets deeper as the book goes on. The reader is asking himself "what is really going on?"
And both have "wow" moments. The kind that make you put the book down and go for a walk to collect your thoughts.
forgive my laziness but im asking without reading up too far: have you read the terror (simmons)?
I have not. Would you recommend it?
I did read his books Illium and Odyssey. Interesting and though provoking, but very strange.

i’m only about 1/5th into it, but it’s a very compelling read. i just think he’s a really great writer, actually. its a classic kind of horror, the kind that is carried by the writer’s ability to make benign things seem interesting or prescient, even if they don’t happen to be, and it just subtly builds the suspense.
In the forward to his short story collection, Harlan Ellison talks about him taking one of his writing classes that he taught. He thought very highly of him, even before he ever got a book published.
I will check out The Terror.
At least it a has two word title.
Not like Dean Koontz. I never liked his stuff. Too melodramatic.
