Oh, to have been a writer in the days when you didn't have to compete for attention with TV and social media. Once you get over the long digressions, the whole chapters defining different traits and arguing whether whales are mammals or fish (problem ...more |

| An extremely sweet and optimistic take on a robotic future. I loved this little (4 hours on audiobook!) story and the world that Chambers created, where ecological damage has healed, where orders of monks do things like serve tea to people who are ha ...more | |

This book absolutely sucked me in, and I lost most of a week reading it in every spare second I could get. It is absorbing enough to ignore the flaws during the actual read, but in retrospect, they really stick out. The good: the book is meticulous in ...more |

I had to read this to see what the fuss was about! Only about 10 years late! I kind of suffered through the first two-thirds of the book. The note-for-note resemblance to Beauty & the Beast, with painting swapped out for books, the main character's 's ...more |

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life:
The Lord of the Rings
and Atlas Shrugged. 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."
