Books

[Shmu2k]

Neither TV nor cinema, books are still entertainment to some of us and I assume that falls into the scope of this forum, too. I'm finish up EVE: The Empyrean Age right now. I recommend it to anyone reading this forum since you obviously have an interest in EVE. I know this is currently the only EVE novel out, but are there, say, comic books or some such out? Just more lore type stuff aside from what is published on CCP's site is what I'm looking for.

And, since I might as well, list some book recommendations. No strict rules, but perhaps a space faring scifi theme might be encouraged since, you know, this is an EVErse game forum. My recommendations:

Dune series (everything up to the last two Frank Herbert books...dunno about the son, but god damn did the series take a strange turn at the end)
Heinlein (the author in general), specifically I might say The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, the Lazarus Long series, Stranger in a Strange Land (not space faring scifi, really...but damned good scifi) and, of course, the always-loved Starship Troopers
the Mars trilogy, by Kim Stanley Robinson, is also an incredible and thoughtful science fiction series--the politics of colonization are a primary focus of the series, though, so you really need to enjoy that aspect to enjoy the books, otherwise you will likely find them boring

the only books i like are darren shan ones with a few exceptions il give the eve ones a look

The World of Null-A by A.E. Van Vogt. Cloning, galactic politics, and corruption. Sound familiar?

The Odyssey novels (2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010: Odyssey Two, 2061: Odyssey Three, and 3001: The Final Odyssey) by Arthur C. Clarke. Artificial intelligence, unknowable "alien" motives, evolution and social commentary.

Ender's Game (or the whole Ender's/Shadow series) are a great addition in terms of Sci Fi/Warfare

i own all the dune books including the ones done by his son and Kevin J. Anderson EXCEPT for the actual book Dune x.x

i read only science fiction unless im forced other wise. i love the halo books (except Cole Protocol, the guy who wrote it is an idiot). Old Man's War and its predecessors are good and most of the Warhammer 40k books are awesome including a short one i recently got (its like 150 pages) called "Fifteen Hours". Its in the view of a drafted Imperial Guardsman who was dropped on the wrong planet where the average life span for a new guy is 15 hours. I really enjoyed it.

My fave book is Ender's Game, the rest of the series is good however i enjoyed the books about Bean post-victory over the books about Ender (i.e. Xenocide). I liked reading about the chaos that happened on Earth and how Peter eventually was able to rule over everything and unite the planet. I did not like that Petra and Bean were together, i was very unhappy about that but =/ what can ya do.

Halo series, a lot of manga, and I want to burn twilight with a passion.

Bloody oath. I'll bring the fuel, you bring the books. I'm sure someone else will remember the damper.

I've kind of lost interest in fastasy/sci fi books recently, I generally read non-fiction/comedy books now like the ones by Danny Wallace, for those who don't know in each of his books he sets out to accomplish some sort of odd task, i.e. he tries to start his own country, bets he can say yes to everything for a month (might be more/less I can't remember) the film 'Yes Man' was inspired by it.

Anyway they are great feel-good books.
