Kind of cartoonish fables with robots and kingdoms. All stories feature the same two 'constructors'. There's probably some social or political satire here that I'm not getting. I'm pretty sure I've read one of these stories in high school. I like to...more "

Tamahome liked terpkristin's review of Wool Omnibus Edition: " I loved this book! It had been on my "to-read" list for quite awhile, but I didn't have time to read it until I made time. Thanks to the Sword and Laser selecting it for the May, 2013 pick, I was "forced" to make time. The omnibus edition is divide... " Read more of this review »

Tamahome liked Jenny's review of The Player of Games: " It is hard to know what to say that won't give some of the slowly unrevealed story away. It's just a game player from Culture going off to play a larger game. I read it in an afternoon. "

“Writing a novel is like going a great distance to take a small shit.”

“One reason chronic diseases are so rarely cured is that in many cases, essential curative steps make people miserable for a time, while steps that aggravate the disease make people feel better.”
― Paul Jaminet

“I tell writers not to think about writing short stories or novels. Just write one good scene. And then a novel becomes a bunch of good scenes stacked on top of each other.”
― Joe Hill

“I believe the novella is the perfect form of prose fiction. It is the beautiful daughter of a rambling, bloated ill-shaven giant (but a giant who’s a genius on his best days).”
― Ian McEwan

1 person liked it

“I think it’s undignified to read for the purposes of escape…. If you read for escape you will never try to change your life, or anyone else’s. It’s a politically barren act, if nothing else. The overuse of imaginative fiction enables people to avoid the knowledge that they are actually alive.”
― M. John Harrison
