2018 Reading: Novels, Part 1


Posted on 01/11/2019 at 08:38 PM | Filed Under Blogs

The Left Hand of Darkness is a really solid choice if you're going to read just one of the books I mentioned. And if you can finagle someone else into reading it, all the better! Definitely a good book to talk about.

Trust me, you're not missing too much if you skip Ready Player One lol

I wish I had been able to watch 2001 right after reading it. But from what I read about it, the book and movie were developed at the same time, though there are some differences, like the book featuring Saturn but the movie going to Jupiter because Kubrick didn't think they could make the rings convincing. After hearing about Hal my whole life, I was shocked to discover he was only in the middle third of the novel.

Asimov is my all around favorite author. I haven't read all the Foundation novels he wrote later on but that initial trilogy...oh man. SO GOOD. I don't think I even have a copy of The Gods Themselves but don't worry, I'll rectify that sooner or later Tongue Out Have you read his Lucky Starr series? Those are such fun adventure stories.

Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep is a book I did blog about a couple years ago and I remember you chiming in then. His books are always flush with interesting ideas.

I recently picked up a copy of The Dispossessed. After how good The Left Hand of Darkness was, I'm looking forward to reading it this year.

I haven't had a chance to think about what's coming out this year. We'll probably get Yoshi and maybe Animal Crossing and/or Luigi's Mansion 3. I'm starting to develop a noticeable Switch backlog Cry

Smash definitely best with others but unlocking characters really does it for me. I love that stuff.

I don't remember what the Titanfall 2 devs are doing now—a Star Wars game, maybe?—but I'm interested in whatever it might be.

You need to get back to Zelda. Those shiny things aren't as good!

I'd love to get into audio books but podcasts are easier to get and I'm always swamped in those. I read a bunch of books in 2018 though.
