Can't top that. The man may've been an asshole but he had an incomparable ear for rhythm.

The Bells are worth a look. | ||

I finally picked up Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings. It seems really promising so far, hopefully it doesn't disappoint as I'd like to see this setting work. Its a strange mix of western and asian influence as far as I can tell. | ||

Edit : it's getting worse, he now sounds like David Harvey or Mélenchon raging against the capitalists' plot against workers. | ||

I wonder how many economist read Adam Smith on supply and demand and don't see the difference with their own cute little intersecting curves, or shrug it off without a second thought. | ||

You have three hours. It's because they are more fun to read uh. I mean if i just want a book with stupid and boring characters i can just talk to people in real life lol. No shortage of boredom. | ||

In my opinion he was just a depressed man who was trying too hard to express his disgust (towards jews, n*****, lefties, life in general etc...). At some point in Bagatelles he even says that his own style is "too jewish" LOL. | ||

What aspect that I totally loved about the books was that the author and the main character never patronize the reader. It is a sci-fi world that never tries to be explicit about the world since the MC doesn't have feel necessity to explains things that any other stories would throw at your face. It is a really easy recommendation to anyone who likes literature. I'm not really a sci-fi/fantasy reader (usually, I'm not really a reader tbh t.t) but I really liked the story, the prose and the world. I wrote all this just to ask if anyone can recommend any other book that reassemble this series. Thanks. | ||

I haven't read them, but Book of the Long Sun and Book of the Short Sun (written in the same universe as New Sun) are supposed to be very good. I assume they have the same prose style. Let me know your thoughts if you pick it up. Oh, and Latro in the Mist by Gene Wolfe is very good, but not SF. | ||
