There is no way I recommended a sci-fi book to someone, other than Lem's Solaris. Tom Send a noteboard - 03/06/2017 07:25:00 PM

I just really don't read the genre generally, and the few books I've read haven't overwhelmed me, Solaris excepted, though that was really more about philosophy.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Which Part of WoT Plot Did You Dislike the Most? MrFarstrider - 30/05/2017 02:49:26 AM 1856 Views
The internecine warfare in the White Tower should have taken up about one fifth the size it did. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 06:01:47 AM 673 Views
It felt like such little payoff for staying devoted to such a terrible storyline MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:33:43 AM 1132 Views
The real annoyance with the WT stuff. Is not knowing if it never meant much, or just died with RJ. Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:36:57 PM 1187 Views
Almost everything to do with the Seanchan. *NM* Mix - 30/05/2017 07:51:53 AM 1186 Views
Perrin, Masema, etc nossy - 30/05/2017 01:09:20 PM 1101 Views
Pretty much all the female story lines. random thoughts - 30/05/2017 01:38:39 PM 1214 Views
Demandred not being Taim. Tom - 30/05/2017 02:53:40 PM 1120 Views
Naw, dude, he was totally in, uh... Shara the while time. Obviously. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 05:35:15 PM 1195 Views
Totally agreed. Tom - 30/05/2017 06:52:00 PM 1110 Views
Perrin rescuing Faile HyogaRott - 30/05/2017 04:11:10 PM 1243 Views
A Sanderson book, not a Jordan book, just as a point of fact Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:55:53 PM 1336 Views
The subplot was almost the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight... *NM* HyogaRott - 01/06/2017 01:23:21 PM 681 Views
COT may have been the worst novel ever written..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/06/2017 05:17:27 PM 657 Views
Have you read Vellum by Hal Duncan? It was worse. *NM* Tom - 01/06/2017 09:03:08 PM 661 Views
Ah crap. Seriously? I guess I shouldn't feel bad for having it in my to read pile for so long then. *NM* Chas - 03/06/2017 01:08:02 AM 730 Views
Nah, that "award winning" SciFi novel by sombody Adams that either Tom of Cannoli convinced me to re HyogaRott - 02/06/2017 12:56:53 PM 1240 Views
There is no way I recommended a sci-fi book to someone, other than Lem's Solaris. Tom - 03/06/2017 07:25:00 PM 1094 Views
Anything that had to do... Jeordam - 30/05/2017 04:45:27 PM 1111 Views
Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO. Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:27:54 PM 1152 Views
Yeah....too bad it took Jeordam - 31/05/2017 04:27:49 PM 1197 Views
Anything involving the political machinations of Cannoli's favorite character damookster - 30/05/2017 06:59:31 PM 1154 Views
Most plotlines involving Egwene after book three or so. And yeah, much of Perrin's storyline. Legolas - 30/05/2017 07:15:26 PM 1171 Views
So, you mean most of the Aes Sedai stuff? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/05/2017 08:22:05 PM 656 Views
Nah, there was plenty that wasn't about her. Legolas - 30/05/2017 09:06:49 PM 1170 Views
I always thought making Egwene was a silly contrived story line random thoughts - 30/05/2017 09:27:01 PM 1166 Views
Am I the only person who didn't hate Egwene? nossy - 30/05/2017 11:46:47 PM 1130 Views
I didn't Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:52:05 PM 1414 Views
What is happening? nossy - 31/05/2017 10:43:52 AM 1298 Views
I didn't mind her early on MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 12:14:19 AM 1246 Views
But... Her #1 goal since the very first page she is on is to NOT be "a innkeeper's daughter". Dunstan - 31/05/2017 06:14:18 AM 1164 Views
That's true, but she WAS an innkeepers daughter. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:49:04 AM 1083 Views
Which simply made her all the more reckless in attempting to NOT be until she wasn't. *NM* Dunstan - 31/05/2017 04:22:46 PM 658 Views
It was the direction he took her. random thoughts - 31/05/2017 03:04:21 AM 1009 Views
That's almost true of every character nossy - 31/05/2017 10:52:55 AM 1139 Views
That is true random thoughts - 31/05/2017 12:20:47 PM 1188 Views
I kind of feel like Seanchan was setting up for the "outrigger" stories. MrFarstrider - 31/05/2017 10:46:53 PM 1200 Views
that fact that you are probably right makes it worse random thoughts - 05/06/2017 03:44:23 PM 1140 Views
I actively liked her until probably around PATH OF DAGGERS. Then I was just vaguely indifferent. Ghavrel - 31/05/2017 04:15:37 AM 1190 Views
I'm always impressed by people who can keep them straight. nossy - 31/05/2017 10:59:09 AM 1104 Views
There are resources that can help with that. Cannoli - 31/05/2017 06:16:47 PM 1297 Views
Your geekery knows no bounds. nossy - 31/05/2017 06:37:42 PM 1095 Views
I didn't at the start. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:24:38 PM 1336 Views
Luca's circus...I mean "menagerie" Cannoli - 30/05/2017 11:53:54 PM 1286 Views
The return/rescue of Moiraine.....totally pointless in the end Anonymous2000 - 31/05/2017 12:52:27 PM 1112 Views
It treated her as somekind of Wheel high priestess... And everone just went with it... Dunstan - 31/05/2017 07:12:40 PM 1132 Views
Took forever to think of full on "plot" I'd go so far as to DISLIKE. Then it hit me. "Pink ribbons". Dunstan - 01/06/2017 06:28:13 AM 1086 Views
The ludicrous amounts of subplots and minor characters. Bergioyn - 11/06/2017 09:32:32 PM 1392 Views
