I read Sundiver out of order, didn’t like it as well, don’t remember why.
Then there is a second trilogy, also weird but fun.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I actually just downloaded Startide Rising after reading your.post. Sundiver was a bit of a slog at parts, but overall a cool conceit, I thought. Looking forward to this one. Also, it was free!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read those a million years ago and don’t remember much, although I do know I liked the series. Making a note to myself to revisit
Eta: ooh, free is good! Add to library!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I have started re-reading Anne Rice so that's gonna keep me busy for a while (I haven't decided how far I want to go, I stopped with The Body Thief or Memnoch the Devil (I honestly can not figure out if I read Memnoch the Devil or not) the first time around but I'm kind of intrigued by Atlantis)
Atlantis is A Thing. A very weird thing. But hey, it gave me the habit of saying "SPAAAAAAAAACE BIIIIIIIIIIRBS!" at random, which I think is hilarious.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
Almost done with this book and really loving it unless the final chapter is a complete disaster. "Funny You Should Ask" [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
K.J. Charles' The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting is on sale (Amazon). Well worth the full price I paid, but SALE!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I have my SIGNED copy. And I cite it to people because in the list of Goth wardrobe essentials, the first item is multiple lint rollers (which indicates practicality).

Hee!
I have a paper copy, too (though it is not signed), but more people should buy this in any format.
