My favorites - Authors, books...

[Darrensuggextuaxase]

My favorite authors are Ruth McCaffery, Harry Turtledove and Terry Brooks. The series are The Dragonriders of Pern; The World at War; and the Shanarna Books. Im a hard core fantasy reader I tend to haunt my local used book store. Has anyone read any of these authors or reccomend any authors?

Hi, Darren,

 

Among the many authors I have read over the past sixty years or so ( Wilbur Smith, D.I.C.K Francis etc) I have just discovered one I'm really enjoying, D.W. Buffa. I have read three of his books recently, all courtroom dramas which I consider top class entertainment.

 

Can anyone tell me why Mr Francis's Christian name ( the shortened form of Richard) gets the **** treatment?

Hi Ted

Our friend Dicky is subjected to the "intelligence" of a computer that only reacts to the parameters the commands contain.

(It only reacts to the dicky without the y and then only sees it in the vulgar sense.)

 

Do you remember the story of the computer that monitored the news in US, - some journalist had written that the Pope's visit "shook America" in his headline.

The computer then consequently reported that a large earthquake had occured in North America today!!

 

Cheers

Hi, solbjerg, Thanks for confirming my suspicions, I thought that may be the reason.

For fantasy I really like the Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore, that may be too mainstream, but I really like them. But for non-fantasy I read mostly books on physics, and my favorite authors are Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, and A. Zee (which I assume is a stage name, not sure why for a science book though). I also like all the a very short introduction series from the Oxford press.

By the way, the spam links had nothing to do with this subject, they were how to make millions of $ very easily

But you already know how to do that don't you :mrgreen:

 

Still, there is no need stop the discussion of your fave authors, books etc

Enjoy :smile:

 

All the best, woz of oz

Yeah I'm going to write a book about how to get millions of $ very easily, and sell it for 30 bucks.
