Originally posted by NordlysIt is! Much more palatable than tuna pizza too, I might add (although I've thought about and discussed that one with friends, and maybe I jumped to conclusions...then again, maybe not - I hate tuna melts!)
That sounds very interesting. I'll have to look into it, I think.
BTW, what are you reading Noodles?

I'm re-reading f2f, by P. Finch, a tech thriller from the '90s (recommended if you like the genre).
Also, from time to time, "Technics of arrrangement for the modern orchestra," by Eric Herrera (I don't want to forget my humble knowledge about the matter while I'm not making music by the time being).

Originally posted by PBE6I can recommend Neuromancer if you like sci-fi. Otherwise try Peter F. Hamilton's Night Dawn trilogy. It's long by really good.

EDIT: I'm re'reading Steven Erikson's A tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Originally posted by PBE6how about if instead of just mentioning the title, people actually gave a short description what the book was about, genre etc, and what they thought about it. so other people could have at least some chance to find out if they would like the book or not.
Crap, there's already one of these? Oh well, this one's better 'cause it's mine and I may offer commentary on the brilliant or pathetic tomes chosen by you, my dear readers.
a book review thread of sorts.
oh, and missing neuromancer is like missing moby dick. there just are some books that should be read, even if you weren't that keen on the genre.
Originally posted by PBE6It is about a serial killer picking his victims on internet. The tech detals are very credible, but the novel was written in 1995/6, so it contains references to BBS's and telnet connections. If you was on that at that era, the beginning of internet, it is a refreshing reading.

As I've said, it is black genre novel (or a thriller). I'm sure that for those inclined to read novels with a high content of real hi tech details,
it is worth to get it.
You can get it for very few bucks from Amazon, cos I think it is out of print now.
Google for it.

P.S.: f2f, the tittle, means Face to face.
