How else can you make it look like a linear grouping?

I would even consider watching it of they covered it!
Pre-Madonna, I think.
Having read it again not too long ago, I was actually surprised by how much of it was not good.
The framework was interesting, but much of the actual writing wasn’t nearly as good as I had thought.
Maybe it’s because I had read it in a Dutch translation the first couple of times, and the translator had had improved the prose without intending to, or maybe it’s because it was many years ago.
Whatever the reason, I felt like it needed another pass of the editor.
The movie, on the other hand, still thrills me every time I see it.
Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks. Space opera at its best.
As a big fan of Farscape, your opinion is invalid.
Kidding aside, I realise it’s an acquired taste.
84K by Claire North. It’s a dystopian novel about corporatization of government.
At first glance that might sound generic, but she’s an incredible writer, and really makes the world she created come alive.
Standard Ebooks is a wonderful resource, although they do sometimes go for more modern words or spelling. It’s to help modern readers better understand old texts, but it means you won’t get some of the cool and quaint wording and formatting.
Have to argue against What the bleep do we know.
It is neither science fiction, nor a movie (in the fiction sense). It is a documentary, and as for the science fiction, it isn’t present, and not in the same way that it isn’t present in some of the other movies.
It isn’t there because it was not the intention to make a science fiction movie.
What the bleep do we know was meant as non fiction. You were meant to take it seriously, as usable information.
None of it is actually real, though, and it is filled with pseudoscience. But at its core, it is meant to be watched just like a any other documentary, not as a movie.
So do I, but I can see why someone would be put off the whole series after reading The Colour of Magic, so having some other books to recommend makes sense to me.
Absolutely! I haven’t listened to anything by them from after Ironbound more than once.
A mention is not the same as an appearance, so the discrepancy for some characters could be even greater if you take that into account.
