so-soSo-so is the best I can do with this book; I really don‘t get the awards for it. The sexism is a major problem, some of the science seems wrong to me, the dialogue can be stilted, the plot is boring in parts, and the prose isn‘t that great. I‘m glad I read it because it‘s so influential, but I highly doubt I will read the other Ringworld books. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk
I‘ve only got a couple of hours left to this book, and I can‘t say I‘m really drawn to it yet. And that‘s outside of the problems with the depiction of women. I can see great promise in the premise, but so far it‘s just okay to me. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk
OMG! If I‘m old enough to be someone‘s lover, I‘m old enough to be spoken to in an adult manner instead of being condescended to as if I‘m a 3 year old! I may not be able to get past the misogyny in this book although I‘ve been able to do so before. The sun was out today! I haven‘t seen it since I‘ve been back home. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk
Some things, besides sexism, bother me in this book. Wouldn‘t a society advanced enough to build a ring around their entire world have discovered radio waves? It started to rain when I got out of the car, but I pulled out my raincoat, so it stopped. 😄 #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC
Today is the first time I‘ve gotten to walk in November! I‘m back home now and noticed that some parks have yet to take down their Halloween decorations. I‘m listening to Ringworld for #ClassicLSFBC and haven‘t yet made up my mind how I feel about it. It‘s got a similar problem to most of the classic SF that I‘ve read — a lack of imagination when it comes to women. #audiowalk
We are finally getting to Maia‘s story, and I‘m interested. I walked alone today, so I got to listen to my book. I‘ll miss the river walks when I go back home, but I‘ve got the bay there. #audiowalk
Anticipation and #dread of what is to come in this twisty, twisty, twisty clever tale. Loving this book and this #audiowalk on a beautiful October day. #WickedWhispers @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
This started out slow to me, but now I‘m getting into it. #audiowalk by the river.
Another gorgeous walk with my boy Champ. The leaves are slowly staring to turn here in middle Tennessee. 🍁🍂
