And I will now have that as a mental image any time I come across a similar device in any novel.....

Lmao! I'm gonna need you to message me the next time you run into that particular plot device ;)

I'd like to see more military fantasy, like The Black Company and the Malazan books, but perhaps a bit easier to understand. LOL

Have you read Starship Troopers? It doesn't have as much action in it as more recent books but it's a great military sci-fi classic.

Armor is pretty damned good too.

Ok, that sounds totally good...def a Starship Troopers thing but itself at the same time... has to be on my TBR list...

I just got it in the mail...of course that could mean it will take longer to get to. Library books keep getting moved ahead of the books I own.

MrsJoseph, I haven't read that one yet. It is on my TBR mountain though. I've heard many great things about Starship Troopers.

I've never heard of Armor, though. Sounds really good! Thanks, Ala!

I was speaking of Armor coming in the mail. Read Starship Troopers when I was younger, I like it.

TBR mountain - I'm totally stealing that, Jason. :)

Mostly I just want my favourite writers to finish their series so I can find out what happens-not just GRRM but David Anthony Durham's Acadia Trilogy. It drives me nuts wondering what's gonna happen next. Oh, and I want Steven Erikson to keep on writing those Malazan books.

There is an ugly truth behind my term "tbr mountain"...LOL

[whimsicalmeerkat]

Some days I feel like mine has become a range.

Psst - just found this: SOS (Serious Overload of Series) database. Have fun.

That's a lot of books...hmmm, this could prove interesting. Thanks Tracey :)

A ton of books! Great link, Tracey!
