Babel-17
by Samuel R. Delany
Delany makes some interesting commentary on language and how it effects the way people think and act while telling an epic outer space adventure featuring a colorful full cast of characters, espionage and plenty of action. The Earth Alliance is fighting an interstellar war with the Invaders who have developed a communications weapon called Babel-17 that is responsible for multiple deadly attacks against the Alliance. Rydra Wong a starship captain, famous poet and telepath is recruited to decipher what they thought was a code but she discovers is actually a language. When her ship is sabotaged one of her crew is suspected of being an Invader spy. After witnessing an assassination her ship is again sabotaged. Her crew is saved by a privateer whose lieutenant, a man known as The Butcher may be the key to understanding Babel-17.
"It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It ensures his existence." -- James Douglas Morrison
I bought an old book about Mars the other day.
But I'm saving up for two reading experiences I want to enjoy next month as they come out in the middle of October. They're both wrestling based, and they are The Death of WCW: Tenth Anniversary Edition & Chris Jericho's The Best in the World At What I Have No Idea.
Just picked up the Mageworld novels by Debra Doyle and James MacDonald from a used-book store a while back and they are as amusing as I recall. Yes, they do start off as Star Wars with the serial numbers filed off*, but twists do start creeping in and it remains a nice read. I'm debating starting a tvtropes page on it....
As someone else put it:(Think not-Leia marries not-Han, not-Leia is assassinated and not-Han gives the not-Millennium Falcon to their daughter to find the assassin as a kickoff point. Their older son was fostered with not-Chewy on not-Kasshykk, and their younger son is training with not-Luke on not-Tatooine.)
I'm still reading 'The Last Wish' by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is a fantasy book. I know that there exists a video game but I have never played it.
And also I'm reading a novel 'The Stranger' from Albert Camus.
Chalk me up to another person getting on the A Song of Fire and Ice train thus far it's very enjoyable. Dense with characters and content with savvy yet accessible prose.
I think I'm just going to go on a fantasy binge after this and finally get around to Tolkien.
Just started today:
The Wolf by Lorenzo Carcaterra
Organized crime declares war on international terrorism. Bad guys versus badder guys, and it's been plenty intriguing so far.

About a 3rd of the way through Redshirts by John Scalzi
Pretty decent so far. Cant tell yet if it is going to be really good or really silly by the end
