Davincie posted:embassytown does a lot of fun things with language as well, for the bas lag series, the scar is immensely easier to read and better then iron council which gets caught up too much in fantasy communism Cool to hear. I think I'll try to pick up Embassytown in the near future.

Davincie posted:the last book i read before this one was skylight by saramago I really liked Death, With Occasional interruptions. They should've made a movie out of that, instead of Blindness. I mean what the gently caress, a movie version of Blindness is like, missing the whole point. It'd be like making a movie of Shaow of the Colossus. Some things only work in one medium

Endorph posted:wasn't that just some christian group spreading fliers around because they were mad black people were writing sci-fi I don't know about that, I meant the one publisher getting flooding the votes so only their stuff got nominated in some categories, so the awards show just didn't give out those awards this year.
