Recent reads...
The Forever War, Joe Haldeman
Absolutely outstanding. Military sci-fi told in 1st person. Protagonist deals with "subjective timeline" issue as his career spans 5 years to him, but thousands of years "back home" on Earth... a consequence of Einstein's relativity theories.
Fire Upon the Deep, Vernor Vinge
Tedious. Shallow character development, and plot doesn't tie in with the "big idea" of the book in a compelling way.

The Forever War, Joe Haldeman

Joe Haldeman was a combat infantryman in Viet Nam. His application for conscientious objector was denied by his draft board, IIRC.

Yes it is!!
I'm about halfway through A Feast for Crows

 

[lordofthepiperings]

What amazes me is how many stories are going on at once in the series of A Song of Ice and Fire and the fact that I haven't found any plot holes. To keep that many characters active and all in line with eachothers stories is very impressive. The show on HBO is just as good as the books too.

I decided to pick up the Lord of the Rings series again. should take me a couple weeks to read all three books.

Just bought Storm of Swords and Feast for Crows. Working on that laborous Storm of Swords. I'm sure it won't take nearly as long as expected to get through all 1,100+ pages lol. Also lastnight after I finished up Clash of Kings I read a few Holmes stories: Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, and A Case of Identity.

I'm reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on my Kindle. Funny thing is I tried reading the Holmes stories when I was a kid and I hated it, couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Now 25 years later I love the stuff and can't put it down. :puffpipe:

 

[bronxbriar]

Moby Dick (finally got around to it).

Loving it.

I'm reading W E B Griffin's "The Outlaws" right now. I'm a huge Louis Lamour fan also, but I've read just about everything he has written.
