Chasm City (Total Recall on Steroid)

Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds My rating: 2 of 5 stars Let us talk about Chasm City. For me, this was a hard read. As I mentioned before in a book club I am on Facebook the plot or the storyline reminds me of Total Recall. What Memories belong to who? It is an interesting story I have to agree. But I did find some contradictions that did not follow. I am not going to write a synopsis of the story anybody can find that on the internet. But I am interested in requiring help on trying to understand some of the inconsistencies or contradictions that I found.

I, Claudius " Roman Whack Jobs"

I, Claudius by Robert Graves My rating: 4 of 5 stars Every so often I read a book not related to science fiction or science, among other literature that I like its history. The book that I have finished reading just called 'I Claudius'. As you know Claudius was an emperor. A Roman Emperor the book is in form of an autobiography. And of course, it was written as fiction by Robert Graves in 1934. After I read the book I made a mental note to myself, never to claim Roman Imperial royals. I can tell you that Robert Graves had a good imagination. I actually laughed and some parts, and many of you know me I am not prone to laughing at all me being of the intj collective. But I am only human just that these emperors were even though they thought they were gods. Please read the book in a very quiet place and let your imagination run wild how you believe the Roman empire used to be at the very top. View all my reviews
