    Quoth Nunavut Pants View Post
    Just picked up a couple of Brandon Sanderson books from my local library. Gonna read them while on vacation...
    Haven't read them myself, but I've a friend who's a big fan.

    Personally, I just plowed through Randall Munroe's What If? and What If? 2. Gods bless XKCD.
    Cheap, fast, good. Pick two.
    They want us to read minds, I want read/write.

      I'm currently reading "On A Sea of Glass, The Life and Loss of the RMS Titanic".

        I should pick up the "What If" books--I love XKCD!

        I recently re-read "All Systems Red", the first Murderbot Diaries book, and have started on "System Collapse", the most recent one.

        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

          My partner recommended Kurt Vonnegut. I’m reading Cat’s Cradle now, which is weird and absurd and I love it.

          If I still like it at the end, I’m reading Breakfast of Champions next.

          "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

            Just plowed through an old volume of Conan short stories, and I'm diving into Mobile Suit Gundam: Origin volume 2 on the comic front!

              Read all the way through "The Murderbot Diaries", and am in the middle of System Collapse again.

              Next up is "Me and Mr Jones" by Suzi Ronson. It's about the author's time with David Bowie (the stage name for David Jones) as a stylist/etc. The more observant of you might notice her last name is the same as Bowie's Ziggy-era guitarist, Mick Ronson. That's because she married said guitarist... Looking forward to this book!

                I have started reading "Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone" by Benjamin Stevenson.
