Location: UK		I have completed all the books I had in progress above. Snow Crash with its virtual reality was one for the boys I think! lol. Parable of the Sower was extremely dark,brutal and disturbing. A bit over the top with the violence maybe.Unrelenting catastrophes with little respite was hard to read.Much happier with my main 1995 book,David Brin's fun Brightness Reef. Lots more detail about some of the Uplift races who have had to live together on a remote planet.. Not as good as Startide Rising,but very enjoyable.
Now for my second 1994 book I will read Stephenson's Diamond Age,and then its on to Dan Simmons Endymion and KSRs Blue Mars........groan....I am so not a KSR fan,and Blue Mars is even more massive than Green Mars. Going to be a long job,it took two months for me to drag myself through Green Mars.so its likely to be a while before I revisit this thread
