Ease up, Goat. She's probably still getting used to the saddle. Maybe you should take her under your wing and show her how the experts mock people.

I like Crichton, but the scientific stuff gets a little deep from time to time.

Did you read sphere? When he broke out the science in that book, I was a little bit overwhelmed (especially considering I was a freshman in high school). For the most part, I was able to conceptually understand his science lectures, but that book was beyond comprehension at the time.

Yeah, a long time ago and haven't since. I didn't think it was one of his better books and just had too many twists and turns for me.

Timeline was another science packed book that I had a hard time following the science portions when I first read it. But I liked the story a lot better.

You didn't understand his interpretation of parallel universes accessed through quantum foam? Amateur hour!

Cussler is just pure adventure fluff..I mean it is embarrassing to admit I like his novels, but unfortunately I do. I absolutely LOVED Crichton. It is a freaking shame he died. My favorite work of his is "State of fear". Tolkein's work outside of the Hobbit, is beautifully melancholy. You have to read about his background though to really get him. He lost so much in the Great War that those themes of ultimate sacrifice and renewal color all his work.

State of Fear is one of my favorite books still to this day.

I'll read up on Tolkien. He is on all of the lists of authors you have to read,so I'll take the plunge shortly.

I are dumb and stuff.

Honestly he does do a good job of breaking the science he writes about down into simple terms that can be understood by most. So it does make for a good reading.

Keep on playing our favorite song,
Turn it up while you're gone,
It's all I got when you're in my head...
And you're in my head, so I need it.
I need it.
I need it.
I need it now...
