reo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Reo, I know a couple people who have had lasik and they absolutely believe it was the best money they ever spent. Look into Care Credit. It's a program where they will loan you the money interest free for like 18 months. And of course, go somewhere really good and not to the place with the best deal. Thanks. I'll have to look into it if I ever get a job where I can get some thing settled. I think that's about where it started going downhill just a bit, but it was hardly noticeable until this most recent one... which was still worth the read, just not as much and you got the sense he was shuffling/stacking the deck before dealing... if that analogy makes any sense. I think that's when I stopped reading them. Isn't that where he took that huge break? I need to pick them back up but just haven't had the time lately.

OILERMAN Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 So now I got these audiobooks and I have no idea when I'll listen to them. i guess the car. I usually like to blast the tunes when I drive though. Try to get hired as a mailman, you'll have plenty of time to listen to audio books Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've scheduled a visit to get lasic twice and had to cancel both times but I fully intend to get it soon. I was in Vegas and put on this guys glasses and saw how had my sight was far away. I couldn't ever remember being able to see that far away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Read the first two books of the King Killer Chronicles. He's good at writing lore, bad at writing love, meanders needlessly, and lingers too long in the wrong places. The lore keeps it interesting but it's not as good as I had hoped. Pretty clear he's lady Lockless's nephew, right? Secret lineage trope. oldschool, and Starkiller 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I'll agree but I'm actually pretty convinced that books 4 & 5 are the best from GRRM on reread... so much depth and meat to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Anyone looking for a tech thriller should check out Daemon by Daniel Suarez. It has a sequel called Freedom(TM). His other 2 books, Kill Decision and Influx, are also good but I'd start with the the first duo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm interested in how they are going to wrap up the series in just one book. We don't yet know what he did to start the war/unrest/whatever. Presumably we will get all that. Is he also going to end it after telling his story?

It's not realistic he'll wrap it up in a book. If he does, the current day stuff will be unresolved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The racial aspects of the series were always awkward. Elba playing the Gunslinger likely means they're setting that aside. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
