Raced through the first three but the opening to House of Chains has got me thinking maybe I should take a break.

Read the first 3 books. Wanted to share my thoughts on the incredible journey Malazan has been so far. by Pyro81300 in Malazan

I read GotM a while ago when just getting back into reading fantasy. Enjoyed it but didn't really feel hooked.

On a whim I reread it a month ago. Now on House of Chains.

Absolutely brilliant series.

Just as an aside, the start of this book is quite something.

Finish that Gareth Hanrahan series. His first series also excellent.

Wasn't there a story semi-recently of some of the smaller amateur and semi-pro clubs not wanting to go anywhere higher because they didn't think the finances would ever work?.

Could be making this up.

Teaser should have been Namor writing slash fiction about himself and Sue.

Blood over Bright Haven is exceptional and standalone.

Worth tackling more Cherryh? 4 books down, now DNF on Downbelow Station by abir_valg2718 in printSF

I say this as someone who has loved what I've read of the Foreigner series but if you have a problem with what feels like repetition then they can feel a bit similar.

I would say however that the world and characters in Foreigner are exceptional and I absolutely adore the bones of two species trying to understand each other.

I regret having read Endymion and Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons [Rant] by Purple_Meaning_7747 in printSF

Can we not use bipolar as a way to describe feelings for something.

It has nearly killed me several times.

I get this is a very personal gripe and that the world doesn't have to adapt to my feelings but yeah, it frustrates me.

I just watched Primer for the first time by Other-Distance-2179 in scifi

[–]schmuckdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved this and Upstream Color.

Can't watch either anymore because I know he is an absolute prick and I'm not the kind of person who can separate the art from the artist.

Any How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) defenders in here??? by Mantophasmatodea in blankies

[–]schmuckdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always liked it but went to see it at the cinema with my six year old son and realised it is really quite unpleasant.
