Tale Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 The Watchmen graphic novel arrived this afternoon. I'll be reading it once I get home. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Walsingham Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 A lot of short stories by Richard Matheson, the guy who wrote "I Am Legend" - which I also read, since it was part of the three story collections of his I bought. I didn't like I Am Legend all that much - and it's not because I loved the movie more, because I didn't - I think for me it's that I feel his writing style is more suited to the short story vs. longer ones. His style feels very sparse and a bit abrupt, which isn't enough to completely suck me in over a long haul. But those short stories - they were all kinds of awesome. That's weird. I really liked the story. I thought the ending was a bit rushed, but otherwise not bad. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Azure79 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 After hearing so much about George R.R. Martin, I'm reading the Game of Thrones. So far, the book is awesome. I think Martin enjoys crushing the hope out of the reader, but it only makes the story more engaging.
