I know some people love Years of Salt... but that book was so dreadfully boring that... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 30/07/2010 05:59:42 AM
So I am interested in what is considered Kim Stanley Robinson's best work. Is there one that is generally considered to be his best and then (as I know this is likely not be a a monolithic thing) what do you think is his best? I have read the Mars books and I am working on Galileo's Dream and while both are good both have problems...


I've never read anything further by Robinson and have no intentions of doing so because I thought the book was so bad. I never even finished it I was so bored with it and I hate to not finish a book once I've started and read most of the way through.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
