I read the first Amber book long ago and eventually got the ten-book omnibus but haven't read through it yet (it's in a box in my closet somewhere; only so much space for books on the shelves!). Any particular Zelazny favorites?

There are so many Halo books! I was at my local used book store early this year, looking spend a giftcard. I looked through the whole sci-fi/fantasy section and came across at least four different pockets of Halo books because of the different authors. So many!
I enjoyed Titanfall 2 so much that I contemplated Platinuming it but there was one trophy for speedrunning the tutorial obstacle course that was just impossibly hard that I eventually gave up. I even looked up videos on youtube to help. Great campaign though. You should definitely play it.
That works! I also love the smell of old books. I'm weird like that lol
Gene Wolfe is super famous but I have somehow never read any of his stuff. Perhaps I'll rectify that one day but honestly, I could spend years reading just noteworthy works by well-known authors. There is so much to read O_O
The book has a bunch of descriptions of space lol. I say go for it. Perhaps I'll watch the movie this year.
I always assumed the story was about a ship AI trying to kill the crew "for their own good" or something but no, Hal is just a bump in the road of the plot.
Yeah, I like the look of the tabletop one, but I don't even have a free tabletop to put it on, let alone $400
I wonder how heavy it is
It's hard for me to imagine society getting to the point described in the novel, but their system would be nigh unstoppable once in place.
The Left Hand of Darkness is a really solid choice if you're going to read just one of the books I mentioned. And if you can finagle someone else into reading it, all the better! Definitely a good book to talk about.
Trust me, you're not missing too much if you skip Ready Player One lol
I wish I had been able to watch 2001 right after reading it. But from what I read about it, the book and movie were developed at the same time, though there are some differences, like the book featuring Saturn but the movie going to Jupiter because Kubrick didn't think they could make the rings convincing. After hearing about Hal my whole life, I was shocked to discover he was only in the middle third of the novel.
