/lit/ - Literature

They're not very good and we'd probably laugh at you for reading them

High brow literature for serious intellectuals such as my self, muh lady.

Oh, god yes!

But on a serious note, however much I love the universe, I wouldn't consider it any more than a personal enjoyment. Defiantly not one of the higher brow literary collections, and certainly not on levels of works like Infinite Jest or whatever /lit/ reads these days. Although a wider variety of authors do lend it more flexibility in terms of quality and style, I would say that the books are defiantly OKAY, but not really anything more than that. They get the job done, that's enough.

Although, I would defiantly recommend (if you are a sci-fi reader interested in philosophy and don't want to read the actual works, you sperg) the first two books. When I was in high school (god I was such a nerd), it introduced me to utilitarianism, it's applications, and it's ultimate implications and consequences. It was what brought me eventually to my eventual refutation of utilitarianism as a whole, leading me to Kantian ethics. So I suppose it does have some philosophical implications.

Other than that, I'd say that it's alright, and an adequate choice if you read for fun. Greg Bear is a little dry, and Karen Travis is frustrating, but tolerable.

But that's just a nerdy tripfag speaking. I'm sure others will have their own pieces to add too.

Probably a mixture of yes and no, considering how finicky this board is with its mixed meanings.

Actually read one once. Don't remember which one. Pulpy but the prose was tight and it was actually pretty enjoyable.
