I agree Snow Crash is good. I went back to back Snowcrash ---> Ready Player One but I gotta say I find the latter more enjoyable, if less imaginative. Snowcrash is convoluted and Ready Player One is a more straight forward, easy read.
Re: What are you reading right now?
This sounded nice so I decided it would be my next book. I've really started to get into audiobooks, so I started this one last night. It sure starts off interesting. Feels promising so far!Habiki wrote:Almost done with Ready Player One. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One
As for recommending books I've found myself in the "young adult" genre lately, which I guess Ready Player One also fits into, even though I am more like a real adult than a young adult these days. I liked The Hunger Games series, books are better than the movies, and the Divergent series I thought was better than Hunger Games actually, definitely recommend those if you like these types of books and haven't read / listened to them. I strongly do NOT recommend the Maze Runner series (which also became a movie recently), ugh, the story idea, and first book is decent, then it's just a downward spiral from there according to me.
Re: What are you reading right now?
'Ready Player One' is well written but that specific genre is not to my taste so it rates as average in my personal opinion.
I am currently reading 'Half the World' by Joe Abercrombie (Shattered Sea #2) and like it better.

I just finished a second run through of the Dresden Files.

Reamde by Neal Stephenson
Over 1k pages of awesome. When I saw it on the shelf I simply had to get it based solely on the title.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

Finished Ready Player One a while ago. I liked it. It's like a fast paced and fun 80s pop culture history lesson. Nothing fancy, spectacular or "clever", just straight forward and entertaining. And Will Weaton does a good job narrating the audio book.Cherek wrote:This sounded nice so I decided it would be my next book.

Now, back to the fantasy/sci-fi genre with "Steelheart" by Brandon Sanderson. Like it so far. For the Fantasy lover I definitely recommend the Mistborn trilogy by the same author.

I got "Ready Player One" in the last LootCrate, so with these promising reviews, I guess I'll read it....Cherek wrote:Finished Ready Player One a while ago. I liked it.

I read the 2 Kingkiller chronicles, and now I hate you.
That mother f#$%^#$%^ is NEVER going to finish the third book.
Re: What are you reading right now?
I'm damn ready for the end of the Kingkiller trilogy. I need to know the ending of the story.
