Hi Ranchers,
I wonder if among all the technical people out here, is there anyone who is interested in reading something non technical. What about novels??
Please share some of your thoughts about the novels you have read..

A while back I decided to read the Da Vinci Code because of all the hype. If so many people were reading it, I guessed that it can't be too bad (I stupidly forgot the bandwagon fallacy!). I was very disappointed though. OK, so he had an interesting concept, but the characters were little more then excuses for him to describe the next bit of his theory. A far better book in the area is Focault's Pendulum.Originally posted by Purushothaman Thambu:

You gave up reading novels?! Reading novels has got to be one of the best things about being a human. I know it would be good for my bank balance to stop reading, but I can't imagine doing it. I'm going on holiday at the end of next week, and am planning on taking about nine or ten books with me for the week. There's something fantastically relaxing about sitting on a beach reading a book.Originally posted by Vinod Ennes:

I was a bit disappointed with Illium after the excellent Hyperion. The rest of the Hyperion series did tail off a bit (and Simmons' obsession with Keats is a bit odd), but I was hoping that starting a new series would bring out the same kind of freshness that Hyperion had. Illium just seemed.. a bit rushed. As if Simmons had an interesting idea and quickly wrote a book without really thinking it through much.Originally posted by Sonny Gill:
Then read Olympos by Dan Simmons, which was a disappointment, esp. since I had been eagerly awaiting it after reading Illium.

There's always time to read! How about just ten minutes of reading before going to sleep each night? I find its a great way to relax.Originally posted by Raghav Sam:
How do you guys manage to read novels?
With a 19 month kid around, novels and even newspapers for that matter have become a thing of the past. :roll:
