@Sito, Wheel of time is indeed good, my lady is a massiveJordan fan and actually I bought her a sterling silver Aise Sidai ring and green Aja pendent for christmas last year. Actually that is amusing in itself since we've had arguements
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
If you like that sort of stuff, you might want to look into either "Superbolan" or "Stonyman Farm." They are pretty run of the mill but are entertaining if you like spy/black ops stuff. Superbolan is basically a

I don't actually mind utilitarianism as much, indeed my tutor is a fan of it himself, albeit more the mill style utilitarianism based on liberty rather than the strict benthem formulation posited by idiots like Peter Singer. I actually

I'm (hopefully), just finishing a phd in philosophy following a masters and a degree, albeit I want to do something else when finished. Agreed on reading people you disagree with, that was why I myself have read so much nietzsche
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
I got a philosophy degree actually and I specialize in ethics. I don't get Kant's limitations he tries to put on certain questions and although I'm a huge fan of ethics, I don't think Kant's morality works in the real world. However, I

Hmmm Bookrage, you actually paid! for the works of Kant? That is sort of nuts given that everywhere from wikisource to project gutenberg has them freely available online, I used such things a lot throughout my degree whenever I had
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
currently guys, I'm reading the complete collected works of Immanuel Kant. He was a late 18th-century German philosopher. Got it on my kindle from the Delphi collected works series. Very good series if you like the classics
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Well Darth my lady would totally agree with you about Peter and gale, particularly because she was always! a fan of Peter and got royally annoyed at Catness for hovering between the two, and only finally! seeing the truth at the end
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
@dark, one of my problems with catness... I think that’s how it’s spelled, is her a, randomly flipping out and remembering stuff from her past, she seemed pretty close to the edge after the first book. B, she seemed to kind of toy
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
@Flacus Yep, agreed about King, though even at his good moments he still has issues, for example he often uses profane language or explicit descriptions not so much to further the story, but more because he's king and just does that, I

I finished the book The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet recently. It's pretty incredible. I don't think you've ever read a book with aliens that developed, and the story itself was really enjoyable.

Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Oh my, The Tommyknockers, King really dropped a bollock there. His genius shines through here and there, but there's a ton of bulk, and the main storyline and central characters just don't hold enough interest to compensate. He gave so
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Tad williams is very good at the hole subplots thing. I will say some are more interesting than others at times, but thats the mark of a good author, its not actually surprising that Williams is one of George R R Martin's idles
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Sorry, I think I got the wrong end of the stick there. Thought you were just talking about great dystopia books rather than specifically influential young adult ones. As for sub plots, I'm all for multiple threads as long as they seem
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
@Jace I'm not sure if neuromancer and hungar games are comparable since Neuromancer is far more in the vane of world wrecked by huge mega coorporations while people live in urban sprawls than a specifically oppressive government
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
The granddaddy of dystopia: boy that's a tough call. There's quite a few good ones. 1984 is the obvious one, but If you held a gun to my head, I'd probably plump for Lucifer's Hammer. Though I'm never quite sure if post apocalyptic

Nope, Nalini Singh wrote the Psy/Changeling ones I'm on about, they're very, very interesting.Mazerunner's also good but oddly I like the films more myself, but the Hunger Gamesno no. If you want the granddaddy of a genre
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Hmm Jace, the divergent ones is that the trilogy by Veronica Roth? I have them but haven't tried them yet. I will confess the last ya distopea, ali condy's matched trilogy severely disappointed me, so it might be a while before I try

Has anyone read the Expanse (novel series) by James S. A. Corey. I am rereading the Expanse books, or at least the main story line. I know that a new one came out back in December. Anyway, the plot line is action field at times, and I think
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
@DarkI'll have to check out Tad's other stuff after I finish MST. Though I do lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy, when it comes to that sort of fiction. I've read Shadowmarch and thought it was pretty good, with just my usual gripe
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
@ChrisThanks! From experience, Audible books usually show up on BARD about a month after they appear on Audible. For free, I can wait a month.@DarkAt present the only Sanderson story I have any interest in is the Stormlight Archives
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
I've heard good things about the iron druid books, though as I'm only luke warm on urban fantasy I haven't checked them out yet. @Orko, Arcanum unbounded is also good because itt gives you a lot of background to Sanderson's series
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
The final book is called Scourged.

Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
Bard actually do have Edge dancer Orko, its in the collection Arcanum unbounded, which also has a lot of background to Sanderson's universe and that tie in to different series such as Mistborn. We have the commercial version of Oathbringer
Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to?
I just looked, Book Share has Oathbringer, but since I prefer audio books to text read by a synthesizer, I'll wait for it to appear on BARD.As for Edge Dancer, unless it is freely available, I'll have to do without it as it is not available

I read Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn years ago and while it is long, for me that is what I like, I don't want books to be over in a minute, I want them to last. Without spoiling it for you, I will say you are in for a surprise! I will say
