Dreams of Infinity: Extremities

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006/11/extremities.html

Tuesday, November 21, 2006. Is truly a novel that spoke to me, and left an indelible mark on my mind. 2 Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. Didn't appeal to me because of its compassion and humanity, but because of the grandness, density of plotting, excitement, and above all the sheer believability of Middle Earth. Lord of the Rings introduced me to fantasy. It remains one of the greatest books of fantasy written. On the flip side, there are works that have inspired a negative. Reaction from me. I...

Dreams of Infinity: Altered State

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2007/01/altered-state.html

Wednesday, January 10, 2007. Need we say more? Yes, actually. We are waiting for wordpress to come up with a fun importer. Then we shall be exonerate. I hope that the cities of the future are not equal to the photo. The architecture and urban planning are very brutal. March 18, 2010 2:38 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On top of the world, one sees forever. Blinded by his own insignificance in the vistas of the infinite, he falls. What hence are absolutes in the face of eternity?

Dreams of Infinity: August 2006

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 28, 2006. It is an escapist fantasy perhaps, but nonetheless it speaks to me in my mind, dances with my dreams, beckons to me with the promise of the blue skies, that empyrean ocean of wonder. Wednesday, August 16, 2006. Genes did not unite the Galaxy, but shared communion of life did. For what seemed the first time in thousands of years of strife, those planets had the resources to accomodate the swarming crowds. No longer would a foe find the Republic unprepared for war. Space was a ...

Dreams of Infinity: December 2006

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 09, 2006. Ask any omer for details. Anyhow: quite frankly, I’ve always disliked the whole Wapanese, or pseudo-Japanese, culture that seems to have sprung out everywhere with a tv and access to Naruto. Seriously, nothing boils the blood quite like a bevy of 16 year old pimpled white teens/ah lians with yellow hair and ultra high boots doing a “Kawaiii neee! I started the trip at Club Med Sapporo. First, lets start with a quick check: do YOU know where Club Med Sapporo is? 2) Very challe...

Dreams of Infinity: November 2006

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 30, 2006. A Preponderance of Literature and Rants. I cannot for the life of me imagine why I read Pride and Prejudice. Today I bought Peace and War. The Joe Haldeman omnibus consisting of all his Forever books (whatever). It is a most lovely book, with lovely red borders. I also borrowed The Book of the New Sun. Which I purchased just before I came across a pristine copy of the Great Book of Amber in a second hand bookstore, an oversight for which I am greviously upset. These are a few...

Dreams of Infinity: Interloper

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006/11/interloper.html

Monday, November 20, 2006. Maybe I should never have started on Robin Hobb. I know that hence, every book she writes, I will buy. (Except the latest trilogy, for reasons I shall not deign to explain.). Ship of Magic. Is heady stuff. Especially given the nautical theme, which I thought I might not have gotten into. Well, anyway. My prospectus for the rest of the holidays:. The Mad Ship, Ship of Destiny. Lies of Locke Lamora. What makes a book good, anyway? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dreams of Infinity: October 2006

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 19, 2006. But her, of course. She did not remember her father's face. How he had held on to the table as he was dragged inexorably away. His haunted eyes on hers. Rememberance was denial. Rememberance was fatal. She knew in her child's heart, unconsciously, perhaps, that hatred was a winding stair that led her into the fires of Grend. Her father should know. Her father. Who was her father? Only now did it dawn on her to ask. Who had he been? Grend take your questions. They are here....

Dreams of Infinity: September 2006

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 29, 2006. The sheer banality of the forthcoming exhortation: The Exams Are Coming! It is a thing of great debate. For are exams ever mundane? Or are they like a cheese grater? Or worse yet, a great cheese? Friday, September 15, 2006. Ai Once there was the Ardent. That once sailed the warm currents. Of the sea. Thousands did it plunder. With gun and leatherbound whip. And the great dog-pirate like steelclad thunder. Did spear the most with his swordtip. Then there came one terror-dusk.

Dreams of Infinity: Crimson Flame

http://plainofvisions.blogspot.com/2006/11/crimson-flame.html

Monday, November 27, 2006. The monster resembled a giant lizard. It stormed through the city, breathing flame and burning thousands. Its huge claws picked people off the street and threw them into its colossal jaws. Its muscular legs toppled smaller buildings as it continued its dreadful march through the crowded city center. And Lord of Light. Has all four, sometimes to disconcerting effect. Even in the very first chapter. November 28, 2006 10:38 AM. I suppose most great books do, at that.
