It's like my new project. Find a Delany novel I like.<br /><br />I'm also excited at the thought of SALVAGING TIME. This is the sort of thing I'm generally into.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-60943864572854681362015-10-19T15:52:21.804-05:002015-10-19T15:52:21.804-05:00Exactly.

This is my situation with most of the classic dude sci-fi writers.<br /><br />ALSO: I read about a third of The Lives of Tao and didn't care for it at all. I am not sure why. Just wasn't doing it for me. I checked out Wesley Chu's newest book, Time Salvager, and am hoping to have better luck with that one. Time Salvager, right? SALVAGING TIME. It should be right up my alley, right?Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-44514357503777354682015-10-11T15:58:52.717-05:002015-10-11T15:58:52.717-05:00I enjoyed The Lives of Tao, but for some reason, s...I enjoyed The Lives of Tao, but for some reason, stopped in the middle of the second one and haven't gotten to the third yet. I think I wanted to like them more than I did, although I'm not sure why and can't quite put a finger on it.<br /><br />I like your sentiment: "I'm a slow-ass reader with a long-ass TBR list and life is too fucking short." Amen. I only wish other readers/bloggers felt the same way. Why read something you're not liking?Bryan G. Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086373614676824139noreply@blogger.com
