gnarlybog Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 While I wouldn't say the prose style is particularly memorable, his in-depth psychological assessments of characters is some of the best I have read. Consider me addicted. I remember loving his other book, The Razor's Edge, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello spiral Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 ^I have a large pile of his books sitting on my stairs. Haven't read any of them yet. Will check to see if I have that one, title looks familiar. Good a place to start as any I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hello spiral Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 400+ pages into Gravity's Rainbow now and what a revelation it is the 2nd time around. I guess because you're not going in blind and you fall into his spastic and lateral rhythms easier. Really fucking enjoying this. I've ordered Mason & Dixon and Against The Day from abebooks.

spptrl alt del Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) yeah, one of the better books i've read in a while. been checking out short stories by Gary Lutz, "Stories in the Worst Way" -- he's a fuckin nut.. ridiculously-constructed sentences, weird, "pretentious" wordage, and funny ideas. It's ok Edited August 14, 2016 by barbara planar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olo Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Started Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. So far, not too bad. I can see where Guillermo Del Toro got the idea for The Strain from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Started Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. So far, not too bad. I can see where Guillermo Del Toro got the idea for The Strain from. I see that's been renewed for a third season starting next week. how? why? it's really really really bad. will probably continue to hate watch though.

It's filler for my TV schedule. The book I referenced definitely had ideas ripped by Del Toro which he spun for his book/show. Surprised he wasn't called on it.

tec Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Started Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. So far, not too bad. I can see where Guillermo Del Toro got the idea for The Strain from. I did not like this at all, but good luck. Finally reading The War of the Worlds and just finished Killing For Company, poor old Bleep. Worth a go if you like In Cold Blood and its ilk.

I did not like this at all, but good luck. About a 1/3 through and it's holding up for me. But, if it just becomes a pissing match between Oberst & some other mind vampires to join their stupid club then I could see it unraveling quickly. If you ever encounter a mind vampire in real life, kill them. They're complete pricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
