    JESUS ​​LOVES YOU! JESUS ​​DIED TO SAVE YOU! JESUS ​​SAVES, HEALS AND FREES! JESUS ​​IS COMING BACK! The hour is come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the gospel. Pursue peace with all, and sanctification, without which no one will see the Lord. Accept Jesus, obey the bible and be baptized by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in a river of running waters and you will be saved.

    I thought why it’s a wheel is because Roland. When you have extreme character the universe will create an opposite for balance. Because the crimson king the tower gods creates Roland or manipulated to become oppressed with the tower to beat crimson king. The problem is since Roland won’t learn his lesson and is still so obsessed that he ends up either taking over tower or lets crimson king destroy tower. So they repeat but until Roland gives up obsession which destroys tower or create another crimson king.

They are not with us....they ARE us, twisted and projected into the vortex of A.I. surveillance culture that comes with the internet and wifi. The most hurt and unaware part of us goes into this monster. Really incredible that Fahrenheit 451 and Childhood's End both were considered for the Hugo Award in 2004! I would also have gone with Fahrenheit 451. After excess, come the self-flagellants, the ones with zeal for book-burning (example: Savonarola).

    And yeah I end up recommending Saga of the forgotten warrior a lot in the RR discord because of the caste system and the pace is fast. Same narrator. But also it’s hard to say without spoilers but there’s an aspect to the story that when you see it you go ok. I think he nailed the aspect that other fantasy authors sometimes try to do and when you get there you’ll be like wow he actually did it and it’s good.

    I predict that Mike will like a lot of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" because he liked "The Expanse." I do think that "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" influenced some of the plot lines in "The Expanse," so it will be right up Mike's alley. I think Mike would like it more than "Stranger in a Strange Land," which ventures more into territory that wouldn't interest Mike as much. In addition to those two and having read "Starship Troopers" multiple times, the other Heinlein books that I would still like to read are "The Cat That Walks Through Walls" and "Time Enough for Love." I'll get to those at some point. :)

    Bro! I hope you enjoy The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. These recommendations sound awesome, Mike! I’m interested in the McCammon series, though I should probably start with Boy’s Life or Swan Song, right? I think you’re going to love the characters and also the politics. It’s a big idea novel. Just bought Watchmen, btw. Excited to dive into it this summer. Don’t buy The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. I’m going to send you a nice version. Keep your eye on your PO Box! 😊

    Darn, I thought Jordan was recommending you an Alastair Reynolds book. House of Suns might be just north of 500 pages, but it's probably his best book. I haven't read Eversion, but I've heard good things, and it's fairly short.

    I am very much a reader who doesn't particularly plan ahead unless I am reading something with a friend. Not knowing what is coming up next is part of the joy of reading for me :D However, in July I do hope to get to, as far as hard copies go,... Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay The original Tale of the Heike the last few volumes of Demon Slayer Musashi by Yoshikawa A few more book in Legend of the Galactic Heroes series Oh boy.....what to do?

      The final book was split into two the penultimate coming out later this year. So far we have 4/6, But considering how out spoken the author is about finishing series. I think on principle he’ll have that knocked out quick.

    Mike i hope you can answer this question, if you don't mind that is. I just figured out, thanks to a UA-cam video, how to see when you subscribed to a channel. I'm a old boomer, 69 in a few days and can't remember like i used to but could you tell me how many subscribers you had November 16 2020 ? I'm just curious to know . Thanks for the best book channel on the web brother. I'll keep watching. 👍
