Cloned From:
Hey what do you think of Cory Doctorrow? A bit more intellectual, or pure genre? Have been curious about him.
His books tend to be SF only in that they're set in the future with technology we don't yet have. That's not usually the focus though.
Most (if not all) of his books can be read for free online if you want to check them out. I actually read Overclocked via email at dailylit: http://www.dailylit.com/search?search=doctorow
Cool thanks for your feedback. Now I have something to do at work tomorrow!
Holy mackeral, and I thought I was a speed demon! I'm a newbie here and have read quite a few of the same books you've read over the years.
What did you think of A Thousand Splendid Suns? I read Kite Runner (not a movie from the book person) and loved it.
It probably wasn't quite as good as Kite Runner, but it was still very good indeed. (I never saw the movie either)
