Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I am looking for good Sci Fi, or Fantasy that is not woke, or an excuse to have a porn event. Please let me know who you read.
The Mind Parasites-Colin Wilson- The Space Trilogy or the Cosmic Trilogy -CS Lewis (one of my favorites). Slaughter House Five-Kurt Vonnegut-The Reality Dysfunction-Peter F Hamilton-Hyperion-Dan Simmons- I have enjoyed them all
Expanse series books are pretty good. Of course there are occasional sex scenes, but sparse.
I will check them out. Thank you :)
I enjoyed Dune, thank you :)
Cool, I am putting Dune on the list. I liked the original movie.
That is the best sell right there! Personally, I cant watch TV or Movies anymore (Pedo problem) and I haven't been a fan of many books lately. Ready Player One... Too much swearing, I put it down. Most of the other stuff has problems with politics or reveals their level of brainwashing:(
Thank you, I will check them out.
I enjoyed the book. Thank you
Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, Piers Anthony, Robert Ludlum, Frank Peritti, Jim Butcher, Orson Scott Card, Gregg Bear, James Clavel, Terry Goodkind, Raymond E Feist, William Hornwood, and Christopher Paolini. I find rereading old books less enjoyable than before: Paolini - strong arguments for atheism, Jordan - eastern mysticism, Dennis E Taylor - Trump hating Liberal. I never saw the themes, but seem them all now :(
