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.

Kurt Vonnegut Breakfast of Champions
 

this is the third Vonnegut book that i have read. it is really great, but not as great as cats cradle or slaughterhouse five. but i really love vonnegut and would love to read more of his books.

i also started reading I.B Singer's the magician of lublin

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.

What's this like? I read Vernon God Little, or I should say I started reading it but found it so dull I barely managed to get half way through before giving up on it.

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.

Yes the Booker prize is televised on the BBC. It's one of the benefits of public service broadcasting. The BBC is required to produce a certain amount of output that is "intended for the public benefit rather than for purely commercial concerns." And being funded by the public it's able to show things like the Booker Prize (and the Turner Prize etc) because commercial concerns are not so important.

On the other hand it also makes utter shite like Top Gear.

the thing of reading
as i seen that newspapers with more broader and intelligent
report on the news
doesn't sell large numbers

to connect that with bookreading
is not the same

fills in another interest

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!
