Foundation & Empire - Isaac Asimov Ismu You must be mad, any ideas in books will be out of date and used already. You are better off using your head...
Welcome back, Lykan! Right now I'm reading Lord of the Rings for the second time, I'm about six hundred pages through my one-book volume. Dune is great but Dune Messiah is terrible, I hate to say this but to get to the good books, i.e Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune, you have to read Dune Messiah. Good luck on it, though. Sj a few months ago I read Foundation and started Foundation and Empire. Maybe I should go back, the series has I think seventeen books.
yeah Lykan keep reading Dune, im reading The Folk of the Fringe by Orson Scott Card im also reading Dreams of a Final Theory, by Steven Weinberg.
I tried reading Foundation a couple months ago. It was interesting in some ways but i ended up getting bored and stopped reading it.
Before i read Ringworld i read A World Out of Time by Larry Niven, an AWESOME book that i highly recommend. Easily one of my all-time favorites, i didn't want to take any breaks from reading it. The 18 reviewers on Amazon have given it an average of 5 out of 5 stars, which is no small feat. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...1745247/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5910783-0267817 Another awesome though hard-to-find book is Replay by Ken Grimwood. Imagine if when you eventually die, you suddenly wake up at the age of 18 again, and can live the latter part of your life all over again however you want to. And then it happens again. And then it happens again. And then it happens again. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...1745611/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-5910783-0267817
I heard it on the news I think....croicky I don't know. Lykan I can understand your dislike of Foundation, the reason I didn't read the second book is because I was just burnt out from the boredom, even if it is more of an intellectual novel. I think ithad one little bit of action-when this engineer guy shot this other engineer guy with a 'nucleic' blaster (one of my all-time favorite words), Asimov did a good job of describing his head collapsing in on the vaporized matter of the guy's chest Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglass Hofstadter. This was a Pulitzer Prize winner. The description goes: A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll. Cris
The Elegant Universe : Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory, by Brian Greene "There is an ill-concealed skeleton in the closet of physics: "As they are currently formulated, general relativity and quantum mechanics cannot both be right." Each is exceedingly accurate in its field: general relativity explains the behavior of the universe at large scales, while quantum mechanics describes the behavior of subatomic particles. Yet the theories collide horribly under extreme conditions such as black holes or times close to the big bang. Brian Greene, a specialist in quantum field theory, believes that the two pillars of physics can be reconciled in superstring theory, a theory of everything." Review by M.E. Curtin Excellent thus far, Michael
