Oz ,'Him'
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."
I'd wanted to like it, I should have read it earlier,
Oh, that totally makes sense!
If you like it I will reconsider my stance, Epic. It’s very possible that what I didn’t like about the samples was the production (I think was one of those “full cast” readings which I can hate even if I like the source material (not always, sometimes I love them. I wish I knew what the critical difference that led to those divergent outcomes was!))
Well, unfortunately, I won't be getting to it soon! My library has been annoyingly prompt with bringing in my holds lately, so those are priority. But I'll let you know. Patrick (my friend) was a really big reader, and a very smart guy, so if he recommended it (and seriously, he REALLY recommended it), it must have ... err ... something to recommend it.
I read Hyperion something like 30 years ago, it’s pretty hazy.
Same here. I remember the worldbuilding more than any of the characters, but I am glad to have read them. (That house that one guy has in Endymion? I want to live there! Except for the, um, consequences.)
Just finished listening to Murder by Memory thanks to -t's post. Very fun!
I actually just listened to it myself yesterday! Very pleased with it - the world building is interesting, the mystery is good, and Dorothy Gentleman is a likable detective
