Want. Moar. Revelation Space Universe Books.
That or more Novels from Vernor Vinge (Children Of The Sky (October 2011 - forthcoming))
Glad to see someone else posting this series.
You somehow missed "Chasm City" which also takes place in Revelation Space. The last book "The Perfect" is in the same universe as well, I haven't read it yet...maybe next.
I also really like Richard Morgan's stuff which someone already mentioned. He's super violent and there's just something cool about how he writes.
I kinda hate to admit it but I just read "The Hunger Games" trilogy and really enjoyed it. The Katnsis, Peeta, Gale love triangle is fucking annoying but other than that a fun read.
I just picked up Richard Morgan's "The Steel Remains" tonight. It's his first fantasy novel I guess. Anyone read it?
I haven't read it, still need to read Black Man (think that one is called 13 in the States?) but reviews are mixed. Apparently the main character is gay?
I'm like 800 pages in to book 2. I don't know what it is about Rothfuss' style, but it is so amazingly descriptive yet so easy to read. However, book 2 has not had quite the catch that book 1 did. I'll leave it at that.
I read Black man. I like the Kovacs books better, but it's still a good read. Carl Marsalis kicks ass, he doesn't fuck it...not gay, unless I totally missed something.
I meant the main character from the Steel Remains is gay.
Which was your favourite of the Kovacs books and where would you rate Black Man compared to those, so I know whether to bump it up my list.
i'm something like 70% through and it hasn't seemed to drag at all for me, i feel like it might actually be the least waffle-y Culture book i've read so far
the others i've read are Consider Phlebas, Player of Games and Use of Weapons
any other good Culture ones i should get to after i finish Surface Detail?
I've really gotten into the culture books
though Banks gets all too long winded at times and really includes information that makes no sense.
I've read Consider Phlebas, Player of Games, Surface Detail, The Algebraist (not a culture novel but still good), and I'm now on Matter.
Matter isn't a bad book, but it's the worst of the lot imo.
My memory is a little hazy but...
Spoiler...is that the simulated attack? If so I thought that was Yime
