    What do you hate most about writing?

    Sometimes the words come fast. Sometimest they come slow. Either way, I'm good...unless I'm on a deadline. Then I could get a bit stressed... I think sometimes I'd rather "have written" a book than "be writing" a book, but that's just me being lazy. Overall, there's nothing I dislike about...

    Stephen King: Cell

    I read this a couple months ago. I didn't feel like I wasted my time. I finished the book and mostly enjoyed it. But, yeah, it felt like he was pulling a lot of punches. The book had no real edge to it. I found the zombies interesting at first, but they got more boring than interesting over...

    Ayn Rand: The Fountainhead

    That is true. =) I read The Fountainhead a couple times in my 20's and early 30's. I even read Atlas Shrugged a couple times in the same period. Philosophically, I'm changed quite a bit from the first time I read the books. And my reading tastes have changed too. When I tried to read Atlas...

    Deciding my next book is usually pretty random. If I read about a book that sounds interesting, I'll request it from the library. Or if a friend suggests something. Sometimes, after reading a book I like, I'll request other books by the author from the library. I walk a pretty random walk...

    Anyone Else Practice "Random Reading"?

    Over the past few years, how I pick (or don't pick) what to read has evolved considerably. Before this, I used to spend too long in bookstores and library aisles trying to make sure that some genre book would be something I'd like. And I'd be wrong just about as often as I was right. Seemed like...

    Just This Guy, You Know?

    Heya. :) I'm an independent software developer, author of a couple books on game development and a horror novel, and an amateur photographer. I'm an avid reader and usually rack up about 60-70 books a year across a slough of genres, including nonfiction. I just learned about this forum...
