...Prichete(sp)...
Terry Pratchett. He is famous for his Discworld Books. Maybe you have heard of Rincewind...?
No I can't say that I have but I'll google it. I am a big fan of the cyberpunk style sci-fi ie William gibson, Bruce Sterling etc. Is it anything like that?
Anyone who likes Cyberpunk has to read "Altered Carbon" by Richard Morgan. One of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. As for Iain M Banks read "Excession" it's great. I gotta agree with Miso tho "Feersum Endjinn" wasn't a good book by him. Avoid "Inversions" aswell. Just about all his others rock tho. And for the ppl who don't like sci-fi, read some of his fiction that he writes under the name Iain Banks 
Gah not only do I play EVE too much I also read too much. |

This is weird - I've finally found people that read even more obscure stuff than what can be found in my bookshelf!
(And if you want to know what's in my bookshelf, please deposit 10 mil ISK to my account, the ridicule would be worth no less... =)

well yeah, all 3 of them. So much of King's stuff is just his ******* fueled ramblings with some deaths thrown in. IT, The Stand, and his short story collections are about the only things worth reading.
As for Sci-Fi, I've got Larry Niven and Kim Stanley Robinson hoarding the science side, and Neil Stephenson, Frank Herbert and Orson Scott Card on the fiction end.

Yeah, the first 3 were good. They bogged down as the series went on though. He seems to do that a lot. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead were fantastic, but by the time he got to Children of the Mind, things were wearing a little thin. I was jazzed by the first two Shadow books... I still need to get off my butt and find the next one... or it might be two by now.

Iain M Banks is great, Terry Pratchett sucks, and please don't hijack threads without me in future, k?
Josh it's only because you have such excellent taste in fashion and clothes and the other more important things in life otherwise I'd have to hate you.
/me twaps you around with a Pratchett book
but i'll look Banks up someday
And I do not have any hamster things in my space ship!

Cool, an Iain M. Banks thread. 
I love most of his stuff. Especially check out "Player of Games", I'd say. Some might say it isn't his best work, but it really hit the spot for me.
Haven't read Feersum Endjinn, even though it's right there in my bookshelf.

I started reading The Mona Lisa Overdrive last night and I have to say it's a little dry for a Gibson novel. One of my favorite Sci-Fi books is a anthology called Islands in the Net. Very nice short stories that are indicative of the authors styles. Wish I could find my copy. Also Count Zero was pretty interesting.

So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

/me looks back over his shoulder at The Line.
MLO will always stand out to me for all the english / yakuza daughter's scenes, characters, etc. running parallel to the rest of it. and also most especially forever
"My name, you see," he said, as though this would immediately reassure her, "is Petal."
i'll bet you 100 isk that's verbatim, heh. say it out loud once or twice. WHY CAN'T I WRITE SENTENCES LIKE THAT!

Well its probably feeling happier for that ... seriously though guys have a look at Newton's Wake if you like clever politically aware scifi. Of particular relevence to eve is the consideration of consciousness and cloning. There is a section in that book that really gave me a lump in my throat thinking about the last time Jade got pod-killed. Kind brings home the issues of "dying" in Eve.
