I finished Free Will..it's really short. I'm not going to turn this forum into a philosophical debate but I think he succesfully dispels the illusion while at the same time making a strong argument that the knowledge of us having no free will is actually empowering to be moral and improve our species. Good stuff.

I liked Moral Landscape as well, fun stuff to think about. I like the introspection his books cause.

I actually really liked it. If you've read any other King books, it's fun to pick out all the little tie-ins to his other stuff - a Where's Waldo of detail nods. It's a nice, depressing book but I'd read it again.

I liked it ok. The premise is interesting, but it drags in places. It's too long. If King wasn't King than a good editor would have cut two to three hundred pages of filler/rambling. Overall, still a good book.

I have a question to you eReader people out there. When do suspect they will slash the prices of ebooks to ~$5?

not anytime soon, so long as the large publishing houses are in league with each other about keeping prices high

I think a few of them are being sued over this:

You have heard good things about American Lion because it's a good book. Read it last year, highly recommended.

Question for you e-book readers out there.

Do you find yourself reading more or less now that you aren't carrying paper around?

if you weren't a heavy ready before has a Kindle or Nook made you read more often?

4/9/2012 3:37:35 PM

good so far

^what the hell man. you made a thread for those same questions & completely ignored the TT on the same topic.

4/9/2012 3:45:26 PM

Best line so far:

Quote :

"I grasp at each second, trying to suck it dry. Nothing happens which I do not seize, which I do not fix forever in myself, nothing, neither the fugitive tenderness of those lovely eyes, nor the noises of the street, nor the false dawn of early morning: and even so the minute passes and I do not hold it back, I like to see it pass."

anyone want to let me borrow Game of Thrones? or i'll buy it for a couple bucks? I want to read the first book to see if buying the last few is worth it

4/18/2012 12:59:29 PM

The first book is lightyears better than all the others, so while I recommend picking it up, I don't recommend using it as a barometer for the others.

4/18/2012 1:13:26 PM

Finally getting some use out of my Kindle now. I've read these 3 books in the last few weeks. I really enjoyed the Nintendo book - can anybody recommend some good company history/profile books?

4/18/2012 2:40:43 PM

Darkly funny and really well-written take on a dystopian future.

4/24/2012 12:07:53 AM

Evidently last night was "World Book Night 2012" (http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/). I ran into a couple that were giving away copies of "Ender's Games" in downtown Greensboro on my way to see "Thor".

I'm going to start the last of the "Fate of the Jedi" series at lunch today. This series has taken way too long to wrap up.

4/24/2012 12:15:02 PM

Read the first and second. Bout to start this one.

^Oh Shit! I was not aware this book existed. Now that I am aware it just jumped to the top of my "TO READ" list.

Thanks for alerting me to that.

4/25/2012 1:30:47 AM

I'm not currently reading anything because I'm hunting for something new that isn't overpriced for Kindle, but my last few reads were :

Sweet Addiction - Banks, Maya
Delicious - Black, Shayla
Generational Sins - Blair, Samantha
Sweet Temptation (Heat) - Banks, Maya
Sweet Persuasion - Banks, Maya
Stranger - Hart, Megan

Someone on another forum I frequent self-published this book that you can get for your nook/kindle for like $5. He gave me and a few others free copies to read and review. If you like post apocalyptic type fiction like, "Lights Out" or "One Second After" etc. then you would probably enjoy this one.

^ You may have read it, but The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is another good one by Le Carre. It's shorter and a little less complex but I liked the characters more.

5/9/2012 10:14:06 PM

Thanks, I'll check that one out!
