Wolf Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I've got to read that book of Heinlein's. I was about to go pick up Stranger in a Strange Land after reading his Starship Troopers and Tunnel in the Sky. Both were good books. Frank Herbert might've kicked a little more butt, but Heinlein is a great author, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HasimirFenring Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Thank you! I've been waiting forever to find someone else who has read them (all the rest of you: if you like any fantasy at all, read them). You've read all three that are out so far?

EWS Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I am just about to start The Search for the Diceman by Luke Rhinehart. I read the first one, which I enjoyed (it appealed to my random humour) and heard good things about the second one.

ordos45 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Just finished another one, not bad either. Pretty good considering it was the author's first novel. 18} 1901- Robert ConroySince I'm only posting this book this time I'll give a brief summary. It is 1901, Germany has the strongest army in Europe, and the second most powerful Navy (behind Britain), but it has no Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm demands America surrender its new possessions (Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines) or face invasion. Germany invades America, taking a large portion of the states of New York and New Jersey before the shocked Americans can even hope to mount a defense. Not yet anything resembling a true world power, the Americans spend most of the time trying to just assemble and field an army, as everyday people find their lives turned upside down by the war.(Oh and I love Britain in this book. Their attitude is something along the lines of "We have a lot of surplus weaponry from our ongoing war with the Boars...we could sell you some...and some intelligence. We'll just do everything short of fight the war ourselves to screw the Germans.")

Mahdi Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Unfortunatley, I haven't done near as much summer reading as I had planned, due to an extreme number of hours at work. Every single book I have read this summer has been Arthurian in some nature, however. Medival Romance, modern fiction, or historical examination. Currently readign Leslie Alcocks "Arhutrs Britain." Been reading it for many week due to,a gain, extremem number of work hours, and the fact he's a really crappy writer. Very informative, but very, very, very dry. I think the only reason Ashe is the worlds most famous Arthurian Scholar is because he's the only one who can write....
