I like scientific details.
I've read the first six. They're the books with Dorothy and they kind of come to a conclusion. The rest go off into the other characters. They're interesting stories.
Yeah, I'm planning to read Lovecraft next year.
I'm up to part 2 now. I really like stories of survival like this.It's the longest Verne book so far but one I've been wanting to read for a while.
not major spoilers, just survival stuff:

Maybe people can tell me why this book is so highly thought of.I know the gender thing was an unusual idea at the time but as I remember it it was barely relevant to the plot.
And Larry Niven is just a unique writer. It's not exactly like any sci-fi you've read before.But the ringworld is unstable.
So what does everybody think of rishathra?
The Puppeteers are some really interesting, unique aliens.
I haven't seen it but they probably stuck in some stuff from Mysterious Island.
Me too.
I read this a while ago. Didn't really care for it.Minimalism doesn't appeal to me. It just seems like another way to feel superior.
It's been a long time since I read this but I really liked it. Niven's sci-fi is definitely unique and I love megastructures.It definitely helps to read Protector too before or after Ringworld.
VERY strange! I'm looking forward to somebody telling me what it was about.

Anyway, way off topic.

It's been a long time since I read it too. I just tend to identify with aliens.

Lovecraft doesn't scare me. Trying to think of something I've read that really scared me...I guess it has to be visual to scare me. When I'm reading I feel more in control.
