Forum: Movies, Television, Books (Does anyone still read?) Topic: The New Books thread started by: GORDON Posted by GORDON on Oct. 11 2015,17:39
Hey use this thread to keep me abreast of the happenings in the world of fiction, preferably in the flavor of science. I don't have time to hit every new thing that comes out and I won't waste my time on shit so I usually end up consuming new media like 3 years after everyone else did because that's when the good word of mouth finally reaches me.I'm looking at you, The Martian. I vaguely remember when it was new but ignored it, and now I wish I hadn't. So use this thread for what I just said. It's even stickied so you wont need to search for it.

I haven't made it to the movie yet, but unless it's 16 hours long I can't imagine they got all the good stuff from the book into it. So go read it already.

I'm about 87.5% done with the Martian, read parts of it on my plane trip. It's probably a 6 to 7 hour read.I'm a fan of < Press Start to Play > so far. It's a bunch of short stories that are video game inspired or themed. Written by many different authors. < Armada > is pretty decent. 2nd book by Ernest Cline who wrote < Ready Player One >. Neither is an awesome stand-alone book, but both are FILLED with nostalgia vibes for gamers our age. |
