I opened a book, it's called The Algebraist by Iain M Banks, and it's some nerdy sci fi poo poo and has a villain who carries a living head (like those in futurama) as a punching bag and is called something ridiculous like Luseferous or something this is considered a good book by sci fi fans, haha whatchu reading GBS? and what do you think about it

"A New Kind of Science" by Stephen Wolfram. It's big and black and has lots of pictures of squares and triangles in it.

CHUCK WAS TAKEN posted:a true classic That's what I hear. I hope it doesn't have scary things that happen in woods, because I walk my dog in dark woods at night and it already scares the poo poo out of me some nights.

Foucault's Pendulum. I haven't read the DaVinci Code but this is what I imagine the plot would be like if it weren't written for idiots

yeah I was going to say I didn't like his prose so much but then I realized nah it's just kind of dry and once you get past that it's actually pretty good my biggest complaint is that a lot of the characters seem shallow. But so far I'm 2/3rds of the way through the Two Towers and that's gotten better - it was mostly something I noticed about the Fellowship of the Ring. and it's short so it's not like it's a huge time investment. the whole thing is a little over 1000 pages.
