I'm trying to get this Bookwyrm thing right. I wish I could just edit the database directly, because trying to add over 1,000 books to my library through the web interface is a pain in the butt.

There is 0 break in the story, for whatever story there is, between The Golden Apple and Book 1 The Eye in The Pyramid. I guess that's one reason why since at least the 90s Illuminatus! has only been printed as one single volume containing the whole trilogy. returnreturnThere is not much I can say about this that I didn't already say in 2022 when I reviewed The eye in the pyramid: The writing style is out there; the character who makes up the first person prose changes without notice; I feel it is like what reading an LSD trip would be like. Part of me wondered what it would be like to read while on drugs, but I was not going to start doing drugs just to find out.
Without the description of the black mass, it wasn't quite as offensive as the first. Personally, I could …

In many places, including on the cover itself, this book is classified as Science Fiction, but it's not science fiction at all in any way. Not like a "But Star Wars isn't Science Fiction, it's a Space Opera" way but there is nothing in the plot related to changes or questions about science. I mean sure there is a submarine on the cover, and there is like one scene that take place aboard the submarine "Leif Erickson" but that's it. returnreturnI'll finish the Trilogy, but it will probably be another 3 years before I do.
For sixteen centuries the Order of Pythia has awaited the reappearance of the ancient oracle …
I first read this during summer vacation as a teenager. it was the first book I eve read that described lustful thoughts directed at a naked woman. This teenage hornball was enthralled.
I recently reread it, the story was good, and i found in the 5th chapter the particular passage I had read over and over in the 90s. All that was there was the few details I remembered and no reason to actually go to town.
A very good read. light and fast. I did have to re watch SG-1 S04E10 "Beneth the Surface" to get some of the subtext of the immediate previous mission.
While still recovering from memories of someone else living in their head, SG-1 advances to a new planet in search of the "Shield of the gods" hoping that its a defense mechanism against the Go'ahuld.
They find another very clean happy advanced city protected from the sun that would otherwise burn them to death, think climate change 40000 years from now. They all have accepted the same religion, which is lived out through the daytime soap opera of Sunrise teaching the beatitudes of their sun god.
They find the daughter of the pastor knows of a whole beyond their ark. They meet people who are barley surviving and have mixed feelings about sun rise.

Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants is the second of 12 Indiana Jones …
I don't remember the last time i fished a book in less than week, and i would have been two days if I had more time. I had to keep turning the page to see what happens next.A brilliant story even better than some of Lucasfilm. After getting his PhD in France Indy gets his first teaching job in London by the help of Marcus Brody. He teaches an intro class that most kids gloss over but the one egg head is also the deans daughter. Shes smaet young beautiful what every young American dreams a Scottish lass may be, but he's too scared.
Then crazy men start following him, eventually figuring their employees of this girl's ex..omg. Her term paper makes some pretty bold claims that Merlin was a historical figure, and she can prove it, as her mom just happened to br heading a dig this summer …

Indy and Deidre head out to Scotland, mom will join later, sex the train, a big party when they get there.
Local priest is worried anything connected to metlin will bring pagans and Death and sin upon his town. Are the Catholics tryinh to ruin the dig, or is it the druids?
Aftee many near death experiences the couple ends up in stone Henge with even more secrecy, more like exbf and half brother troubles, and a changed soul. Highly recommended to anyone who likes adventure fiction.

not particularly bad, and not particularly good. Have a nice dayis by far Micks best work so read that over this. I felt there was more wwe content mad less tna content than I expected, particularly giv N the promotion of the boss on Impact. they said he was going to finally tell you how he really feels about Vince and wwe. apparently he really thinks they are pretty good and would never be able to live the life he has withoutthem.returnoreturnnot much at all about the actual countdown to lock down.
Marooned on Mars is a juvenile science fiction novel written by American writer Lester del …
It was pretty OK as far as old fashioned Sci-Fi goes. I certainly preferred the Heinlein Juveniles which I had just finished up before picking this one up. returnreturnAn earthling raised on the Moon is selected to be one of the first men to fly to Mars, by the UN (which now is the only government that matters in like 1990 or something). But they shift the date of launch to prior to his 18th birthday so he's not allowed to go. The Chinese are happy because they can send an American Chinaman instead. Our hero sneaks aboard, and all is happy. Until they land on mars, and they land hard and break the ship, they will all day. An extra mouth to feed doesn't help. They spend all their time trying to fix the ship and don't get to go find Martians, until the Martians find them.
