Tale Posted July 30, 2008 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted July 30, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure79 Posted August 1, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
