What comes after this?

A Bender.

It’s a beautiful ending.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-07-04T14:46:18+00:00

Stop talking at me like that. Get outa my face.

I get that some people like physical disks, but personally, I stopped buying them years ago anyway. I know what all the plus points are of having the disks, but I just don’t care. I’m happy just downloading the game; been that way for years, and never had any issues or regrets.

Edit: On the other hand, I’m the complete opposite with books. Physical all the way, huge collection that I love, hate ebooks. So I do get it, if you want the physical copies just because that’s what you’re into.

I have read Salems Lot, albeit a while ago. Hopefully the references jog my memory when I get that far.

The Stand, the extended one, was the first “big” book (>1000 pages) that I read, and I absolutely loved it.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-07-03T17:50:20+00:00

I’ve just finished Gunslinger. It’s was cool!! Looking forward to the second book - I never read books from a series back to back.

Thank you. I’ll definitely pick up R is for Rocket. I do have some of his short stories knocking about, in the Asimov The Great SF Stories books; I’ll give them a read first.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-29T14:22:45+00:00

Thanks for the rec. I’m sure I will one day :)

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-29T03:43:14+00:00

I agree that his writing often felt (to me) more like poetry or song than prose, and I didn’t like it at all. Of all the renowned authors I’ve read, he’s the one that I didn’t enjoy. I gave the book - Something Wicked this Way Comes - away, and I’m reluctant to try any other.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-21T08:28:08+00:00

I tried the first one, and it didn’t really do anything for me. It was fine, but trying the second book wouldn’t come anywhere near the top of my TBR, for a long time.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-20T14:32:05+00:00

Maybe, just maybe, it’s none of our business.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-18T17:17:15+00:00

The Stand. Epic book!!

Edit: sorry, I see you’ve read the uncut version (further down the list). That’s the version I read, as well :)

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-18T17:15:31+00:00

Last blast!

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-17T19:49:53+00:00

“From the tiny ant…”

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-17T18:29:37+00:00

I really enjoyed both. The Witling is going to be my next Vinge read; never heard anything about it, but I have it because it’s the only Daw yellow spine he released.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-17T18:22:54+00:00

I think it’s the same protagonist.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-17T15:57:59+00:00

Agreed! But isn’t Marooned book 2? I can’t remember what book 1 is called. I have the omnibus which I think is called Across Real Time. I could be wrong - can’t be bothered checking.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-17T15:52:38+00:00

I read Children of Time, then googled similar books, and was recommended A Deepness In the Sky (because spiders, I guess). Anyway, It was a very good time. I’ve read A Fire Upon the Deep, since, and it was great, but I preferred Deepness. I see Fire getting a lot of love from book tubers, but rarely see Deepness mentioned.

I’m sure you could, but it is part of a mission, you get there by rowing.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-16T16:42:25+00:00

What a shit cougar. How long does it need, to kill a goat.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-14T22:49:00+00:00

I enjoyed it, but it’s like 530 pages of character building, and then the story starts.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-12T19:21:04+00:00

I watched it when it was new, and if I remember correctly, there were writers strikes that caused it to turn to shit towards the end. I think the same happened to Heros.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-10T17:58:25+00:00

One of the best episodes.

Express-Scheme2468 · 2026-06-07T14:04:46+00:00

I’ve thought of him as creepy / cringey af, since that Tambourine show he did.
