    Couldn't do it. I got about 60 pages in and got to a point where he would use the same word to start ~15 lines in a row, then another word to start the next 15 lines in a row and so on. Too much repetition and flowery stuff for me. Maybe I'll try some Emily Dickinson in the future but for now I'm on to "Farenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.

    Barrackroom Ballads by Kipling is the best if you're into poetry.

    just started Manxsome Foe by Ringo.

    I'll have to check them out. I'm not really into poetry, just trying to read some broader subjects.

    I never got into poetry but what was forced in school very long ago.

    I really miss the used book stores in my area all closed.

    Kipling is the only poetry I'll read. A lot of that has to do with so many of my favorite sci-fi writers reference him.

    The Mechwarrior books were pretty good too if you haven't read any of them yet.

    I used to have a bunch of Battletech and Mechwarrior books, probably around 40 or so. Stupidly got rid of them during a move, along with all of my Star Wars novels. Been checking used bookstores while traveling for work trying to rebuild my collection.

    I am more into the fantasy these days dealing with the talents of people rather then the hardware side of Science Fiction . Lots of Satire and Humor . Things to make me laugh out loud.

    I did read all the Science Fiction Greats back in the seventies .

    No telling just what I might pick to read again.

    Being a hardcore Reader since 1968 not many Genres I have not explored I did tend to gravitate to series Books.

    Finished "Farenheit 451". 100% absolutely agree with the message but felt like the ending was rushed. Felt like he made his point with the first 75% of the book and couldn't figure out how to actually end it so he just
    nuked the whole city.

    Starting "An Edge in the Kithchen" by Chad Ward before I invest in some better kitchen knives.
