Well, right now I'm doing "End of the world as we know it". Which is a sort of companion piece to Stephen King's The Stand. I never really fucked with short stories before, but so far it's either "damn I really wish I could see what happens after the story" or "Wow, that was really bad. I'm glad it's over so quick."

Snow Crash my beloved

>>55876 I'm not big into Stephen King because he comes off as yet another Jewish pedophile, but then I read GRRM so I guess I shouldn't talk.

>>55884 I don't really know about that. Salem's lot is a how a evil eastern european rich guy moves in and corrupts a town into communism(forma de Vampire) and is only stopped with the power of literal christ

>>55885 I'm getting this from the bit in IT where he describes in detail a a group of 12 year olds running a train on their also 12yo friend.

>>55886 Oh right, I forget people meme on that scene all the time. It's not a good scene, none of Beverly's scenes are. I don't like IT in general so I'm not gonna defend it other than it was the style at the time. GRRM has a lot of weird scenes with 12-15 year olds with 30 year olds. I'm sure if you dig through their contemporaries you'd find similar weird shit. Except for Jordan. All of his spanking scenes were with adults at least.

Thinking about reading The Fall of Reach again, anything written by Eric Nylund regarding Halo is pretty good, and has been the only book series I've enjoyed with my shot attention span. Contact Harvest by Joe Staten (who also wrote for the Halo games during his tenure at Bungie) is good, and so are his other books from what I've heard. Chief's arc of being an arrogant kid, turned into a killing machine, only for the inevitable losses of humanity fighting a zealous alien empire take its toll on him is kino.

>>55892 Contact Harvest was way better, and way hornier than I'd ever imagine a Halo tie-in book would be. Are there any I should look at?

>>55894 NTA and only semi-related but the Brigador ebook is crazy good if you wanna read other tie-ins too. It was written by a military veteran and has possibly some of the best action scenes ever

>>55894 The Eric Nylund books: The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and Ghosts of Onyx are good. Avoid The Flood which is just a shitty re-telling of Combat Evolved. The Karen Traviss trilogy is a dumpster fire: Glasslands, Thursday War, and Mortal Dictata, avoid those unless you want to laugh at it or waste your time with garbage. Shadow of Intent is written by Joe Staten who wrote Contact Harvest, but I haven't read it yet.

This might come as slightly retarded, but I really liked Tom Clancy's Without Remorse.

Right now I'm reading a dogshit sci-fi novel because it's by the lead writer of deus ex. Absolutely confirms he's the reason why deus ex wasn't another garbage choices-matter-vania game like most crpgs, but wow his prose is some of the worst I've ever seen. It's tragic he kept trying to be a normal fiction writer instead of committing to games. The ideas and aesthetics are cool, but he needs an enforced context like a game to keep him from writing about how he wants to cheat on his wife 24/7.

>>56190 >deus ex writer lead Sheldon Pacotti? I think another reason DX was good was that the devs had no holds barred on thr subject of conspiracies (well minus (((them))). I don't think you could write anything close to what they did without getting shat on by mkultra glowniggers

>>55888 They're all pedos, anon.
