Got my new drum kit today. It's of some unknown brand named Sound Percussion. It's all small sizes and it sounds just great for acoustic jazz. Like a bebop kit. It's sitting in the car downstairs and tonight I will go home and try to find a place to put it.

Good! May makakausap na rin si Mike about The Algebraist.

It's not a priority on my reading list because I have to read through all the Lucifer books first! ;p And I just finished Dune. I like to pace my reading kaya non-SF muna. :)

Aaah talaga? I'll talk to him once I'm done then. In a day or two.

Kumpleto nyo na ang Lucifer? Good! Go go, read it!

Actually 10 and 11 pa ang kulang namin. But I think by the time I get there, we'll have bought the last two volumes na rin. :)

Ah. Lucifer's final scene in the final book was very meaningful to me.

Tapos ko na nga pala ang The Algebraist ,D

fuck me, i still can't visualize what the Dwellers might look like if one stood before me. but it's a great read. i remember being disappointed about Luseferous' demise, but in the end it's not about him. It's about the freakin Dwellers!

AS for Lucifer, i finished Book 8. I've been wondering since Book 5 about the direction of the story. Now i have a clearer picture where he's headed with this. If I'm right, it could very well be meaningful for everyone who reads this. If they get past the 'Lucifer' title, that is hehe.

The Dwellers? If my mental image is right, they look like two discs joined by some sort of axle. Not smooth discs though. According to Banks, like cartwheels with a spider crab on the outside.

I don't think Luseferous died, he escaped with the fleet. He scooted in Saluus' fast ship before his battleship was destroyed.

What I don't understand is, how did Fassin know that the HG was an AI?

The end of the Lucifer books would probably be meaningful for anyone who is ... I won't say anything till you finish it ,D
