erosan Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 well, the superio sm to spiderverse transition was smooth, and all those spiders? lots of fan service if you ask me. I just read #14 which is the end of the spiderverse event (save for asm #15 which will be an epilogue). I think it was a fun event, but not as universe shattering as I expected.I would go back and read superior. I liked that one a lot (and superior foes of spiderman too) Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

redtomato501 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I just started reading Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. It's mind bending! Absolutely great! Haven't read that, but I absolutely loved Le Ton Beau de Marot, and thus keep meaning to read GEB Quote Current Challenge #39 - 15.02.23 | Challenges: #38, #29 | Fitocracy: redtomato501 Link to comment

erosan Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 the silmarnllion is kinda difficult for me too with all the names and relationships. I have not given up on it though, I just hope its like GarcÃa Marquez' Cien años de soledad (uhh 100 years of solitude? not sure what the translation is), which took me like 5 false start attempts before I managed to figure out what was happening, who was who and all… now its one of my favs and I can probably recite at least the whole first page word by word… 1 Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

heavyink Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Am struggling with the samarillion I just can't get into itRead it like you would a book of mythology or history, it's complicated to follow the names of everything and I got lost a fair bit because I could never get the different branches of elves straight. I still enjoyed it just don't try to read it like a novel when it's really a history.I just started Shadow and Claw by Gene Wolfe, I think the main character is insane. Quote Link to comment
