azatoth Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Finished Hugh Howey's Shift, interested to see how it all ties up in the last part, Dust. But until then I will read through the two short story collections from Alistair Reynolds. All happening in the Revelation Space universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorjamb Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ordered that for my lil bro for xmas. Is it as good as I hope? I'm submerged in PKD's abridged Exegesis once again for a term paper on editorial theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm going to nab me the latest Penguin edition of Beowulf asap. I really like the Seamus Heaney translation. I've skimmed through some of the other ones and they're not as enjoyable. pain in the ass finding a decent copy of the Heaney translation round here.

Faber have a nice edition of the Heaney edition - I can send you one if you like. The Heaney translation is the best by far. Radio 4 were playing it recently, I suppose to posthumously reinforce praise for him, but the audio book doesn't seem to be available atm which is great shame - listening to it verges on a euphoric experience.

hello spiral Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sweet, read it last year along with a load of other stuff by the same or similar publishers: This is by Ass Goblin's author's partner. Didn't get chance to read it as it was a gift for a dinosaur obsessed friend. Might have to get myself a copy... Some truly beyond the pale gore horror More decent indie horror. This one is more bizarro than sick. Wrestling themed disgusting detective horror thing, hilarious! Absolutely disgusting and vile short stories, recommended.

I am in Sydney and that would be fab, thanks. I haven't had my hands on one of those since uni days. I always liked the way it started with "So." - it feels like a rich, quality translation. would the postage for UK -> Aus be hefty? don't worry about it if it is. I appreciate it in any case Edited December 9, 2013 by usagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 ordered that for my lil bro for xmas. Is it as good as I hope? I think it's beyond good and bad. Absolutely the most grotesque book I've read so far. Maybe not the weirdest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I never knew things like these gore books existed, I'm thoroughly intrigued. In a non-creepy way. Sent using magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 bizarro fiction has been around for a while. shatnerquake is probably the lollest title, although it doesn't really fulfill its premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Manager Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Gravity's Rainbow. First attempt. First Pynchon. about 80 pages in and too early to tell if i'm going to make it through. it is hard work though. i think i'm going to have to crack and read something online just to see if i actually have any clue what's going on. i'll persevere a while longer yet though.

Guest Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Chapterhouse: Dune. Loving it so far. Lucilla just transfered her contentiousness into Rebecca. re-reading the Kybalion: pearls of wisdom. Dante's Divine Comedy: at Canto 6 And slowly Dante descends into hell.. Ghost in the Shell is a good read too. I'm really glad I bought it. Edited December 15, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeforce Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Speaking about non-English books, the Finns here might enjoy this book. It's pretty IDMz. That looks like a beautiful language. Would it be difficult to learn ? Isn't that where Tolkien derived his Elvish from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
