Krev Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Metro 2034 : same universe as Metro 2033 (already read), different story. For those who don't know the plot, that's a post apocalyptic and SF book where, during an atomic apocalypse, some people took shelter in the Moscow Metro and try to survive and recreate a society. Nicely written book, a little hard to understand at the beginning with all these stations and Russian names though. 1 Quote
Rotwang Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I really really have to adapt to my new lifestyle (working full time). I'm still buying records and books in the same pace but I've got considerable less time to sit back relax and immerse. +1 Quote
Proxeeus Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Some good ole' H.P Lovecraft before bedtime. Quote
choxon Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Finally got War and Peace along with Crime and Punishment. Been meaning to get the books from the library for a while now but keep forgetting. I luckily stumbled into a bookstore and remembered about the books and got them both for cheap. Can't wait to read them. But damn is War and Peace really long. both are great, i´ve read it long time ago (highschool). crime and punishment is psychedelia all the way. war and peace is kool if you like RPG to stay ontopic: not reading at the moment, but for long time i have in my aim Jules Verne and his Mysterious Island, and From The Earth To The Moon, would like to refurbish my memories now when I´m a grown up man.

Mergi Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Dan Simmons - The Fifth Heart So far a bit puzzling, but it'll probably sort itself out in the end. Quote
Mergi Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Wolfgang Jeschke - The Cusanus Game Time-travelling post-apocalyptic drama stuff it seems. Translated but overall good and hopefully interesting once it gets going. Has its tweaks as I thought I'd fumbled with the know-where-I-am strip as I started reading a passage I knew I had read before until I realized it wasn't entirely the same only to about 99%. Quote

Mergi Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Neal Stephenson - SeveNeves Just started reading it... but yeah, moon explodes everything dies... almost. Should be interesting, this time around, to see how we get out of this mess. Quote
Starkraver Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Engineering Hydrology by K.Subramanya. Liking it. Quote
technosomy Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 dennis dunnaway biography in case you don't know he was the bass player and main songwriter for alice cooper group if you a fan READ IT! gives a whole different perspective on their journey from seances to meeting jim morrison to now Quote
Mergi Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 That is one of very few books (if not the only trilogy) I'm seriously thinking about re-reading. I remember Gibson being rather childish but with a poetic rhetorical language. The books wasn't making much sense but the prose was/is really unique. I should give it another chance. Quote
Mergi Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Tony Gonzales - The Tabit Genesis it seems to be short "space opera"... hmmm. Quote
Mergi Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Kim Stanley Robinson - Aurora Just turned the first few pages, but Robinson usually delivers pretty neat stories. 1 Quote
Blair Thaumic Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Clive Barker - Imajica Read this over the last week and a half (all 800+ pages, jeez) Not a big fan of fantasy but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Psychedelia, theology, light amounts of science fiction and a bit of horror. If you like Michael Moorcock's Elric books or the later PKD (Valis trilogy in particular) you'll like this too. 1 Quote
MrAnarchy Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 "LSD- My Problem Child" by dr. Hoffman and bunch of human anatomy books :sigh: 1 Quote
psylophyta Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Reading a lot of Theosophy books. The foundation of modern spirituality. The Secret Doctrine is amazing, but to get a clear picture, one should first get some idea of the history of the Theosophical movement, etc. So, some Sinnett (Occult World, Esoteric Buddhism) comes into the picture. Some biography of H. P. Blavatsky. And a ton of others (fortunately most of it is in public domain now, and I love reading scanned pdf-copies of old books). Also, I. Regardie's The Tree of Life (great introduction to magic, I hear), and Glenn H. Mullin's The Practice of Kalachakra (awesome book on buddhism; the author had translated original Tibetan texts under the guidance of the Tibetan Buddhist priests, and quotes freely from them; also, gives a good picture of the history of Buddhism in Tibet and the overall scheme of the Buddhist ideas; great book on Buddhism, imo, even for a near beginner, like I am).

Mergi Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Gavin Smith - The Beauty Of Destruction Scottish genious on sci-fi, I'd love to meet this person in real life. Gavin Smith must be one of the most skilled sci-fi writers of 2010s, no one matches his utter wit. http://www.gollancz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/beauty-of-destruction.jpg Quote
Veracohr Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Clive Barker - Imajica Read this over the last week and a half (all 800+ pages, jeez) Not a big fan of fantasy but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Psychedelia, theology, light amounts of science fiction and a bit of horror. One of my favorite books! I just started Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card. It takes place between the first two Ender books. Pretty good so far, unlike the prequel books which are mostly written by some other dude from Card's ideas. Quote
Mergi Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 You mean the prequel-prequel books detailing the first attack by the Formics? But those are collabs with card and johnston. Quote
