I think you're right, and if that's the case it makes the whole thing even more nauseating, if that's even possible.

I tried reading Aldebaran many years ago, but I couldn't get past the problems you and the reviewer pointed out. Clunky seems too kind a word for some of the dialogue, and seeing stereotypes move about really put me off. Plus I remember it being very self important and humourless, but it was maybe 10 years ago so I…

I'm rather hopeful after seeing this. This might be my favourite book, I've read it quite a number of times. My main question is whether they'll manage to incorporate the delightful footnotes somehow.

only if he weighs the same as a duck.

The whole line looks cheap. I'm not entirely opposed to the Black Widow jacket and dress, but the material just looks like shit. Shiny, bound to fray at the hem.

Wednesday here. We win.

Danger 5 is indeed awesome.

I don't know… It's almost TOO quiet…

The first issue of the Kanan one was quite nice. I liked the atmosphere, and the art wasn't bad.

I really enjoy this show but I've always hated Joe's relationship with Iris. What father treats his adult daughter like that ? Talking to her in a ridiculously childish way, "protecting" her, and I seem to remember that he emotionally-blackmailed her into not becoming a cop. Joe might be an alright character, but I'm…

I was hoping for more Farscape…

It's only planets, boats, small islands… basically anything for which you might say "on".

This entire exchange was adorable and an example to all.

If the portuguese nun is any indication, that's the way Eugene Green asks his actors to act.

Actually sounds like it's a remake of a french show from a few years back, Kaboul Kitchen.

Yeah, I read it in English. Try Embassytown too, it's pretty cool as well.

Due to being stressed out and catching the flu, I went on a fantasy binge. What really stood out was Chris Wooding's Ketty Jay series which was amazingly fun, the powder mage trilogy by Brian McClellan which started a bit clunky but quickly got awesome, and books by Sebastien de Castell, Traitor's Blade being the…

Did you have more difficulty reading Perdido Street Station or The City and the City ? I'm french and PSS is the first I read. I fell in love with the writing, some parts you just want to read out loud. I read pretty much every book Mieville has written without difficulty, except for the City and the City which for…

I'm with you on Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. I'm an avid rereader, and that's one of the books I've reread the most. I don't get tired of it.

Lately? "has ever written" would have been more appropriate.
