It was okay. I didn't care for the ending or how openly physically molesting Taverner was throughout the book. I've read better Dick stories.

>>11053998
YOU POOR TO-BE-DISAPPOINTED SOUL

>>10988096
That was a good joke for Brandon "PG-13" Sanderson.

The ending to A Maze of Death reminded me of Neoquest II.

I've read Ubiq, VALIS, and DADoES, watched A Scanner Darkly. I'm actually reading The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch right now and have four other PKD books in my backlog for afterward. I am excited for my wild ride of my boy PKD and his psychedelic adventures.
This post doesn't answer your theoretical question but this is now my blog and you'll have to DEAL WITH IT mister!!!

Did you disappoint your parents when you slithered out of the abortion bucket?

DRAGONLANCE edition
>talk about Dragonlance
>discuss how the continuity is surprisingly solid for a YA sword-n-sorcery
>laugh at the people being wrong who think everything after Twins trilogy is shit
>discuss Sanderson being a chode-choking dickgoblin and writing random YA nobody asked for

Some of these charts need updated and fixed but I'm too lazy to go through them at the moment.

>I mean, he can't use the Aether, right? He can't use the Aether, he doesn't have an Aether. But the sand, the sand does stuff. So a handful of sand is a really useful amount of sand to have if you're not a sandmaster. Because sand reacts to investiture. So if you let it fade and you take it somewhere, as soon as investiture goes kinetic, it'll turn white again. So you'll be able to use it to tell who's using inve..it works just like a Seeker, like bronze pulses.
>So having white sand, having sand around is really good. If you can keep the little beasties that are growing on the sand around, they will react to basically the investiture equivalent of radiation. So that's handy.
neat

I am reading Dragons of a Fallen Sun and I am about a whopping 4% in. I don't know why but Dragonlance has been enthralling me.

Hey that story about the girl climbing the wall to find the whatever on the other side... what was the resolution of that story? I think it was in Oathbringer but I could be terribly wrong.

Alright, mister. I spent a whopping THREE American fun bills on this anthology so it better be good!

Kill yourself, FAGGOT.

So I started reading The Library at Mount Char and I'm only two chapters in but boy oh boy I hope David dies a horrible death.

Can we discuss sci-fi that involves manipulation/violation of mathematics? I know this occurs in the Xeelee Sequence by Baxter, and Reynolds has used it before in Revelation Space (cryo-arithmetic engines violating 2nd law of thermodynamics). I'd love to read more hard sci-fi that incorporates this kind of shit if anyone can provide me with further reading material. I have nothing important planned after my current book.

I finished Echopraxia last night and man, it had decent bits but it wasn't as good as Blindsight by any means. Like you asked, there were a lot of unanswered questions and it felt like whenever questions were about to be answered or there were interesting interactions (Bruks and Valerie talking by the campfire, Bruks talking to his wife in Heaven, etc.), it was disrupted for PLOT reasons.
Not a big fan.

Do you mean Crescent Moon Kingdom stories? I couldn't find anything for "Kingdom of the Crescent Moon".

>library at mount char
Seems very cheesy but I'll grab it.
>Night Angel trilogy
Read it years ago.
>House of Blades
>generic MC is the chosen one and has no powers plot
I'll pass.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Why aren't you lurking the fuck more, ESLfag? Headbutt a railroad spike then ask your mother why she didn't have the sense to swallow you.

Within the Malazan world, how powerful were the Segulah dudes?

Speaking of hair, apparently Nalthians make good worldhoppers because they can modify their appearance and not just their hair.
