Comments for I'm Booking It http://blog.imbookingit.com Mom on the move, book in hand Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:20:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Review: Reamde by Neal Stephenson by Christopher Lampton http://blog.imbookingit.com/2011/12/21/reamde/#comment-6328 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:20:54 +0000 http://blog.imbookingit.com/?p=5056#comment-6328 I love Stephenson, but he’s a novelist of ideas and, once he had the (rather brilliant) ideas out of the way in Reamde — loved the idea of paying off ransoms through an MMORPG — the book devolved into an extended action sequence involving characters who began to seem very nearly interchangeable (and there were WAY too many of them). Neal, I eagerly await your next book. Just bear in mind that action-oriented terrorism thrillers are about 10,000 miles away from whatever magic place it is where your core talents lie.

Thank you for the thoughts on my kitty.

I can see some similarities in the character, but I’m not seeing the parallels in the situation. I’d love a pointer to someone who said that, though! This book has tremendous possibilities for discussion and analysis.

Wow, how did you get through 6 audios in a single month? That’s a lot! I got through one short one and about half of another. Then again, I am rarely alone, so I don’t have a lot of time to listen.

Looks like you had an excellent reading month – nice way to start off the year! Very sorry to hear about your kitty, though.
