Why are you on an iron maiden board if you don't like iron maiden

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Who is this directed at??

Not you, CSiT73.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Oh indeed.

This forum has (at least in the past, and as far as I can tell still) been pretty vocal in it's support of the Blaze era. So statements like "you're not missing out on much" as a response to the Blaze era won't meet with applause here.

 

[Mosh]

Well that and seeing several posts in a row of Gk bashing maiden.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Put it this way I've had some shall we say negative experiences on other social media, which left me a little bit jumpy.

Don't worry about that here...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

... unless you're a Adrian fanboy. In which case Cried hates you!

 

[Ariana]

Cried hates us all!

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I think he does, yes. He even hates Cried, what with Cried being a Adrian fanboy...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Uh, I don't like it. I think Blaze was pants with a capital P.

 

[Mosh]

It's worth checking out. I actually think time has been kind to those albums.

To keep on topic: I'm on book 3 in the dark tower series.

I'm reading some book about Glasgow. Another one.

Book 3 is great. But so are Book 2 and Book 4. Well, the rest too...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Lanark?

If you mean "Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland?", then yes, that Glasgow. Lived there on-and-off for many years.

I'm reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and like it so far. Very interesting, old-timey read.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Ah, got you! No, not Lanark by Alasdair Gray; I've never read them, although I'd probably quite like them. I meant non-fiction.

I once started with the first book but I think I was too young to understand, it all seemed hard to comprehend. Then again, I really want to read Stephen King so what do you think about the series thus far?

 

[Mosh]

The first book is slow in places, it took me awhile to get through it. I'm glad I did though because the 2nd book is fantastic and was hard to put down.

I read that almost a decade ago and have mixed memories about it. I seem to recall finding it mostly confusing and dissatisfying but that there were elements I enjoyed. Perhaps it was because I had high expectations for it.

Anyway, I've been hearing that Parable Of the Sower by Octavia Butler is the dystopian novel that best resonates with the times. Anyone read it?

I loved that book. Must read it again sometime.
