It seems Dr. Price has stepped in it deep enough that most people are distancing themselves from him after the appearance on Pinecreek's channel a few days ago. To some this was a surprise but as this thread details this isn't new ground for him. He's just openly saying some pretty horrific...

I think I lost 7 IQ points reading the posts from the troglodytes in this thread.

I just finished Vita Nostra by the Dyanchenkos and really enjoyed it. Currently pushing through Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It had been on my TBR for a while but it's extremely long and can be difficult to read due to the structure etc. There are single paragraphs that go on for...

Midnight Tides is the last book that's really starting from scratch for SE. Although, you at least have some context from Trull setting up that he'd be telling his story at the end of HOC. From here on out you'll be starting to see the stories converge from what you've read so far for the most...

Delete: Made a jumbled mess. Sorry.

What is the point of coming here and pasting a wall of inane bullshit? I've watched Otangelo do this for well over a decade now across dozens of venues. I can count the number of attempts he's made at good faith discourse in all that time on one hand and have enough fingers left to pick both...

What did you think about ROW? I've been finding his books increasingly hard to finish lately. I don't know if it's just me and my tastes changing or what but I've struggled mightily with the last few of his books I've read. EDIT: If you are reading the 4th Malazan book you should be on House of...

To echo HWIN I tried reading his book Reasonable Faith and he lost me irretrievably around page 47 when he said: "Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on argument and evidence, then it is the former...

In case it isn't clear this is Elshamah.

So I'm in a few groups for people who enjoy fantasy and science fiction books. Today someone post the link below. Basically, there is an anthology being put together and several of the authors have pulled their work after seeing the forward written by one Robert M. Price who is also the editor...

This forum isn't active for the most part. It was at one time but recently not so much. A year or so ago there was a technical issue and the site went down for a number of months. It has just recently been brought back and the few active members haven't really come back. I think Aron has taken...

If you're going to read Gardens of the Moon and thus Malazan I'd recommend you read the second book before you give up on it. Even if you found GOTM a little frustrating. There is a bit of a curve with that series due to how he introduces you to the world but by the end of the second book you...

I've missed this thread. I always enjoyed seeing what everyone was into. I still read a lot. Still a lot in the fantasy genre. Some good some bad. I finished Brent Weeks Light bringer series recently. That was well done. I'm a sucker for time travel stuff and Mark Lawrence is one of my favorite...

I usually won't start a series that isn't finished but I've seen a lot of praise for Anna Smith Spark so I read the first two books of her trilogy (Empires Of Dust). The praise was well founded IMO. It's pretty dark material with fighting armies and extreme amounts of death but it's well written...

My friends and I were what can only be described as varying degrees of inebriated to very inebriated. We were in a field with excellent visibility and the only light for a mile or more in any direction was the remnants of a camp fire a good distance from us (150-200 yards). Having said that we...
