I dont read books very most but my friend gave me his Mass Effect book. Is that book worth reading?


I do love Mass Effect, but reading videogame books is a waste of your time. There are tons of great Sci-Fi books like the Troy Rising saga, the enders game etc. 


Ok thanks. I like Sci-Fi any book simular to the movie Moon. 

If you like the movie for the mystery, the main character's quest to find out about his purpose then I can recommend Hull Zero Three from Greg Bear, and Destiny's road by Larry Niven.

Because they each provide a different experience. Besides books are the best for relaxing outside in the sun on the deck or in a hammock in piece and quiet.

They work in hot tubs too, never need to be charged, just a simple fold will instantly save your progress, zero boot up time, shock proof, infinite resolution, they offer endless worlds no invisible barriers, create your own characters with zero effort, set your own pace, instant rewind and fast forward.
I could go on, but my 4 year old wants me to read him a bedtime story now, Diggers by Terry Pratchet.

I liked it for its satiety/simplicity in its very lax approach to the movies mysterise yet very hard hitting and emotional affect to its characters. but Hull Zero dose looks very interesting and trilling.

Movies are a puzzle game on your phone.  Books are Portal 2.

The difference in depth can be massive.  You've only to watch a move made from a novel to see how much is left out.



Currently reading 1Q84 by Murakami Haruki, and I'm loving it. Very interesting creation of an alternate 1984 where we're given two moons, a bunch of 'Little People' who're enacting an as of yet unrevealed diabolical plot, and a love story that seems to serve as the backbone for the whole setup. A little twisted, but it's great.



Hmm

I am *still* finishing the A Song Of Ice And Fire series.



I'm reading a lot of Fantasy. Tolkien, Robert Jordan and Geaorge RR Martin.

I'm also a reader of historic literature; Conn Iggulden

I'm also reading something that could be called thrillers I guess; they're written by Andy McNab - a former SAS soldier whom writes about... SAS-soldier stuff.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I'm reading Ranger's Apprentice series right now, I'm at book 10.
And my favorite writer is Jules Verne and Karl May.
