    I've got Book One, should I take the plunge?

    If I could go back in time and not read these books, I would. I have not, and will not, finish the series. Only one thing would make the later books, after book 5, readable. With these books, find the 30 pages in each one that is about rand, matt, or perrin. Cut them out. Join all of these...

    Which is Weber's Best?

    I think 'best' doesn't mean the same thing for scifi as it does for other types of books. Which book has the best scifi concepts is not always the same as the best book, but it is why I read scifi instead of romance novels.

    Feist still worthy of a read?

    They were bad AND too short? Ha! The last couple that have come out are terrible, don't bother. He must be paying some grad student to write them or something.

    I think the desire was not so much lost as taken away. In this universe everyone is subject brain modifications if they are not "normal", and the goverment is afraid of running into more aliens like the kzin.

    The "Something" of the Horselords

    I think this is the one where the author was obsessed with having sex with little boys and then killing them(all the charcters do it). The pervert in the series is the guy who likes having sex with little girls.

    ....Yes it can get annoying but I think Jordan really wanted to show how society could go the complete opposite way things are in the real world.... I'm pretty sure he was just dragging things out to make more money selling books. It obviously didn't matter how bad they were, people would...

    Herbert, Frank: How do the newer Dune series books compare with the Originals?

    Aside from the bad writing the originals have something extra. He was writing this stuff befor the computer age really got rolling, that's what they are really about. The pain gives you genetic memories, a huge database about how humans act and interact. The spice gives you awareness about...

    Older book-Hyperreality

    I read this book 15-20 years ago, I think it is much older than that though. I only remember a few points. I though it was called the gods of war but I can't find anything about that title. It start out with trying to capture a monster. The monster is deadly because it can move backwards and...
