Thank for the encouragement to finish the book. I will take a little bit of break, check out wiki like you suggested, and then try again when I can give it full attention.

Hi, thanks for the reply - yes, I am your "follower" :) - if I understand correctly friends actually became followed and followers... As for the taste for SF - I read SF when I was a teen, like you, moved on to "literature" for about 10 years and then returned to SF and fantasy... but I don't have as much time as I'd like so I'm trying to improve my reading speed / comprehension / recall... :) Get well soon!

Hello. It's amazing how fast you read... Do you have a special system (speed-reading or so) which you may share? Have a nice day! :)

Thanks for the advice. I read the their translation of Crime and Punishment and also of Notes from Underground, but I just got slightly impatient with the BK. I am definitely going to give it another go at the end of the semester though.

Hello fellow Discworld fan! Thanks for the friendship request. Quite an impressive shelf you've got there - I'll browse for a while. Which Discworld novel have you enjoyed the most so far?

Wow, have you really read all of those books on your shelf? You're indeed a voracious reader! Thanks for all the answers to my questions.

I see you finally read some Alastair Reynolds, and I see you rated it highly. I'm glad, I also enjoyed Chasm City quite a bit. None of the others quite lived up to it (the core books of the series are more grand, but less satisfying as single reads).

Lord take this cup away from me....
"I can't son, it belongs to you"
But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
"You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
But Lord I aint Jesus!
"But He lives in YOU!"
But Lord I am weak!
"His strength works best when you’re weak"
But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
"Yeah I know I put it in there!"
But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
"And I called you to heal"
But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
"And I called you to teach"
But Lord there is pain in my cup!
"And I called you spread my Word"
But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
"Everyone has to taste their reality"

Thanks Bryan for you note.

I like sci-fi, but not fantasy (except for maybe The Hobbit)
You recommendations will help me get back to reading more of it.
Thinking sci-fi is more my style, versus action. Loved Stranger in a Strange Land. Also liked the movie Silent Running with Bruce Dern. That should give
you a picture of where I am coming from. Just finished Player of Games by Banks and planning on reading Fall of Hyperion. The first book, from the reviews on the net, seems more of a setup book, and the remarks on it in your group say I should be able to go right to the second with no problems.

Thanks again and feel free to drop a note anytime.
Nina

Just thought I would drop a note to you to say I joined your book club.
It doesn't appear that many members are participating in the group, but I've enjoyed your comments in the sci-fi group and I expect I will like the postings you make in your own group. Since I don't read as quickly as you ( you seem to SWIM right through the novels you read) and a little tight on funds, I won't be able to keep up with the group reads. Instead, I intend on using it to find good books to put on my to-buy list, and will post my reviews when I finally get a hold of the books on the list.

So keep posting, because I'll be lurking to find your recommendations.

Thanks again for all the sharing you do at this site
Nina
