Thats all anyone reads, right?
Tried the first book, Red Mars, gave up. Couldn't get into it! Same with Salt.DaGaffer said:Big concepts, but all a bit...worthy, you know? I ploughed my way through 'em a few years ago, but I wouldn't particularly want to repeat the experience.

That what you get with gamers! Games tend to be an escapist form of entertainment, so people who play games would normally be interested in other escapist forms of entertainment like SF & Fantasy books, Action films, etc. At least we don't read real pap like Mills & Boon novels!RedVenom said:Its very very rare that theres any threads, or any replies to threads about anything other than popularist pulp.
aha. I'm no author, but if you ask anyone else on here I'm sure they'd say something about me being a pain.inactionman said:That what you get with gamers!

And some of that 'popularist pulp' as you put it, has some very interesting philosphical elements, obviously the minority of it though!
Much pain in you I sense, perhaps a frustrated writer in you resides?![]()
Too right, I also notice that every single person on here uses a computer too, and most of them play games on them !!!RedVenom said:it IS painful that all that ever gets discussed is a limited genre.
