Have you ever been in a book store before, looking for something, or maybe a couple different things, and ended up getting a book you've never heard of just because something about it attracted you with the force of fate?
That's the way I usually shop for books, sometimes it works out, sometimes not so much. But this time, a couple months ago while browsing in this AWESOME English book store here in Berlin I came across this book....Neverness. *Putting the link it wasn't working, for some reason*
And, wow. What a journey I have been on. I can't possibly describe how much I love these books, with Neverness being a 'prequel' to a trilogy. If anyone is interested in strange, philosophical, historical, OVER THE TOP, futuristic science fiction, do yourself a favor and look these up. Then buy them, read them, and please come and talk with me. I'm dying to talk with someone about these books!!
I know I should be reading real philosophy, or something more respectable, but seriously, I'm gaining so much more out of these then anything else.
Look them up!
