A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - interesting interpretation of our place in the universe. "Lawrence Conner" may be familiar with it.

I used to love listening to Dr. Kaku on Coast To Coast AM with Art Bell. He has a lot of energy and a decent sense of humor. I've never read any of his books, though.Originally posted by SomeCreep

I am/was a rabid Robert Jordan fan, I've reread the whole series (so far) several times because he takes like 2 years between books now, HOWEVER:Originally posted by SpaceAce
Also, you don't want to miss The Wheel of Time. Books 1-6 are some of the most amazing fantasy books I have ever read. The world and the societies Robert Jordan has created are epic beyond almost anything else in print. Books 7-9 are good but he seems to be having trouble balancing all the seperate stories he has going on at once. I haven't read book 10, yet, but I will get around to it shortly. (The first two novels in the series are The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt in case you can't find them under the name The Wheel of Time).

Book 10 may as well not even have been written... nothing fucking happens. I honestly think that Jordan is just strrrreeeeetching them out to make more money. its fucking annoying.

I've read 1-9 many times, I burn through books at a tremendous pace. I read number one then I waited several years to read number two so I had to read number one, again, first. Then when number three came out, I read number one and number two, again, etc. I never get sick of the first six books but around book seven, the series started to bog down. Books seven eight and nine are still good books but not nearly as good as the early ones. That's why I haven't bothered to read number ten, yet.Originally posted by gornyhuy

I am not so sure that he's stretching it out for the money. I think it's a simple matter of having too many stories to tell. Think of how many <B>main</B> characters there are: Lan, Egwene, Nynaeve, Elayne, Rand, Perrin, Mat, Tom, Loial, all of the Forsaken and Elaida just to name a few. Then, factor in all the minor and supporting characters like a dozen of the Aiel, Juilan Sanders, a handful of false dragons, the Asha'man and so on and you end up with a lot of words that need writing.

You could also check out Omerta by mario Puzo. Not as good as The Godfather but worth reading.

I just finished a book called paperback original by Will Rhode. It was a very interesting book set in India about a man who's father dies and will leave him a lot of money only if he becomes a writer.
He then gets himself involved in the Indian Mafia selling drugs in order to have something to write about.
Very good book, had me hooked somewhere in the middle of the book and I couldn't put it down.Comment

Sounds like exactly my approach to it.
I agree with you that he has a lot of balls in the air with all these characters and subplots, but if that is the case it should be PACKED with action jumping from one set of characters to the next with every word used efficiently. I think just the opposite is happening in book 10, and he keeps adding more characters and subplots. No way he can wrap it up in 2 or 3 more books.

In no particular order:
A Conspiracy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole
The Silmarillion - JRR Tolkien
Foundation saga - Isaac Asimov
Almost any Vonnegut book (my personal recommendations: "Cat's craddle" and "The sirens of Titan")
Vertigo or The house of the moon - Paul Auster
100 years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fictions or The Aleph - Jorge Luis Borges
There you have!

ha.. I just bought atlas shrugged.. trying to catch up on the classics, haven't even opened it yet though - been getting through a bunch of other stuff including "lies and the lying liars".Originally posted by SpaceAce
Oh, Lord, if you know what's good for you, you will <I>stay away from this book</I>. This is the only book on the entire planet that has completely resisted my efforts to wade through it (although Atlas Shrugged gave it the old college try). Crime and Punishment is as dense as four-day-old cheese.
I have always suspected that Crime and Punishment may suffer from translation problems but since I only read English, I may never know for sure.
