Did you like A Dance With Dragons? ![]() Finished this a couple of days ago. Pretty enjoyable. Reads much more like Hammett a fantasy novel. It's more about racketeering and assassinations and prostitution and inner city/upper class politics than weirdo fantasy tropes. It only just HAPPENS that there are soul destroying weapons and teleportation. So with that said, pretty good detective stories haha.

Help Me Decide!!!
Between "classic steampunk" ![]() Untried, super-campy but fun looking science fiction: ![]() Or this John Irving book. Yes I like John Irving but I haven't read a book of his since The Fourth Hand... ![]() Suggestions? I'm also brushing up on some early psychobabble for work, so I need a distraction. |

Infernal Devices. If you like Steampunk you'll only read it eventually anyway so may as well be now.

This was when I was working in a bookshop and I had a proof copy (one of many I used to take home) and was really surprised that when it was published it was so well received and went on to win the Booker. |

I literally only just started it. I'll let you know after a couple of chapters but I'm already wondering if I'll have the patience to finish it.

^ Why are the Brits so invested in literature, even if the particular example ends up on the dull end of the scale?
I'm so jealous. I mean, aren't the Booker Prizes televised, and not just on some obscure cable station? That would never ever in a million years happen here in the US. I get the feeling that even yobs pick up a book now and then. Am I wrong about all this? Tell me before I pack my bags and move away from this cultural cesspool. |

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to dale_gribble again. Hunter Thompson is like the Nietzche or Kafka of our time. I still consistently roll with the Dr Gonzo approach to everything in life.. too bad he had to go that way, I think its a conspiracy personally, but then again, I have personally known of folks who did the exact same thing in an argument with their old ladies just to mode them eternally!! either way martyr or a psychopath, God Bless his Soul!!

Ok, so I picked up Infernal Devices on my Kindle and I have to say it's not a very compelling read thus far. Over half way through and still waiting for the story to start. not a good sign!
