Books to read eventually.....

[Steven]

Hey,
I was wondering if you guys had read either Armor, by John Steakley, or The stars like dust, by Issac Asimov. Both were very good, and I really enjoyed them. I think both would be great books for the Sword and Laser.

I agree Steven...

Armor is a great book, one of my favorites. I've already read/listened to it 2 or 3 times and will do so again as soon as it is selected by S&L.

I thought you were going to talk about huge or difficult books that you vowed to read one day, like Gravity's Rainbow or Dhalgren.

No. Just fun books. Big books are depressing.

Hey Steven I really enjoyed armour too. John Steakley is an interesting writer, he also did one called vampire$(the $ was the original) that got turned into crap John Carpenter movie. He uses same names for two primary protags too, Felix and someone else. it was funny i read both around same time and thought armour would have made much better movie, so of course vamps got made. I love Asimov too, i find his short fiction so packed with ideas and seems to move a little better than the novels. On the other hand i also agree with Tamahome, these arent exactly on the intimidating end of the shelf with Neal Stephenson or Infinite Jest. Maybe the group should spend the next 6 months reading cryptonomicon lol...
