i decided to put it here, where he will not read it because he does not read my blog. yay!
basically for the past few weeks i have been trying to choke down this book that was very highly recommended by a co-worker/friend whom i value greatly. i can't help but HhhhhATTTEEEEEE this book in how boring it is and how uninterested i am in the plight of it's characters. he recommended it to me because he knows i like sci fi but guys, i don't like this kind of sci fi.
i feel so obligated to finish it but i just want to put it down and never pick it up again. partly because it is so full of science and mathematics without ANY of the wit and humor that a book like Cryptonomicon posesses, but mostly because i do not at all respect or value the unfolding of human development this author has chosen to create/chronicle in his fiction piece. i am done with reading about the struggles of a mankind whose highest accomplishments detailed in the vast and imaginative world of sci fi only amount to murder, pettiness, deceit and bitter hatred and grudges. to me this is not a feat of writing nor is it the sum of mankind's potential which, even in fiction should be more fully explored.
utilizing certain vehicles to propel a story and demonstrate elevation of consciousness is what i am looking for. not how we progress forward ever harboring the same material and base habits as our ancestors. im tired of the excuse-because it's always been that way.
who knew becoming a Bahai would eventually transform the way i take in a story! but it has....give me more i say!
but what to tell my friend about the book he loves so very much? i have to finish it. i have to. sigh. maybe the end will surprise me.
