I was just thinking today that I really enjoyed Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let me Go

I'll have a look at that guy...

“This was what my master sought? To tear down the Barricades?”

”And his masters before him,” the Nonman replies. “For more than two hundred years.”

He studies the mad Nonmen. “And what lies within?”

The black eyes did not waver. “The truth my brothers could not bear.”

At last he glimpsed it, a point like a failing star.

You're a real piece if work. You constantly insult people and take offense when they respond in kind.

How would you look old? Obese unshaven slobs have a tendency to not age well.

Have a nice day.

not much, though. robin hobb's liveship traders trilogy is wonderful, but is best read after the (not as good imho) farseer trilogy

daniel abraham's long price quartet is fantastic, too

for sheer scope of ideas, sci-fi is a better bet. peter watts' blindsight is one i still think about often, years after first reading. richard morgan's future-noir is great too

I couldn't say. Loneliness is pretty bad tho, I have to admit.

i'm not doubling down on anything or taking any corners. i'm sure we've all said shitty things in the past, but i don't see how that's relevant. i'm just saying it's a shitty thing to say

it's a shitty thing to say

few authors in fantasy beat GRRM for characterisation, so not that. but better plot, pacing, worldbuilding, narrative arcs, focus. despite the rolling shades-of-grey aspect, ice & fire is fairly broad-brush and increasingly tedious as the series progresses

(IMHO, YMMV etc.)

wut?? I told him to be careful because he'd hurt his boyfriend by cheating on him, how that's a hurt that never properly heals because relationships are based on honesty and trust, and that an injured party tends to lash out at the person who has hurt them. I've been on both sides of that. Should I have been more sympathetic? Idgi. I was trying to help... I told him to be careful.

read Dorris Lessing's 'Memoirs Of A Survivor', then rethink your stance on scifi
