More Books
Here are the books I've been reading through-out the past couple of months. I would strongly recommend reading any one of them, particularly if you are a fan of Sci-fi. As for "The Road" I would strongly recommend you read it regardless of your particular tastes.
This was a re-read for me. My friend "Flatbed" (See Side Panel ->) let me borrow this book back in college. Really great read, in fact it is one of the few books I have taken the time to re-read. They have been talking about making this into a movie since like the mid-90s. I hope when it happens they pull it off. A visual rep of this book could be amazing.
This book has some amazing scale to it and is surprisingly an easy read. I have not finished it yet however because I started on the next book "The Road" due to the fact that I had been wanting to read it and it has been suggested to me by multiple people. Foundation so far has been very interesting in both plot and characters. However I feel as though the writing is a little mechanical and blunt, where as a writer like Ray Bradbury can be more eloquent .
I saw this as a film before I read it as a book. I am about 75% done with this book and let me tell you, I am really enjoying it. It makes me respect the movie so much more reading this book because the movie is very, very on point with the feel and themes that the book evokes. The writing is also interesting. It reminds me of Ernest Hemingway almost... a mix of experimental, narrative and at times short hand poetry. It meanders through following a father and son in the dead and dying landscape, almost as if without any meaning or direction. All this in a good, thought provoking way.
This is next on my list, I have it sitting amongst the pile and I skimmed through it a bit. The world (universe) building is incredible. Matching Lord of the Rings in scale and detail. It's funny that it was the first David Lynch film I ever saw many years ago...I thought it was very interesting even then.
