Mag's U Boat stateroom - Quiet please!
on: June 22, 2018, 01:41:51 PM
Life on the U Boat is cramped, hot and noisy. I like to sit in my stateroom with a cup of tea, and quietly read.

If you'd like to join me, please feel free, but no talking and don't jog me.

Ohhh, right.   :-[

But speaking of tea, which tea is the mess serving these days?   :think:

I brought my own 'Scottish Breakfast' blend from Murchies in Canada. I don't trust the cook not to spit into the samovar.   >:(

Never been invited onto Mags U Boat sniff even though there was this one time it was only 1.5 nautical miles from my house. There's a whole thread about it.

Ahh, Moby Dick.  Glad to see you're into the classics, Mags.  In case you haven't read it before I won't tell you how it ends.  I do hope you enjoy it though.  I want you to know I appreciate you for inviting everyone down here.  I suppose it will be quite the challenge to keep the peace with this rather motley crew.  By the way, are there any refreshments?  If anyone else shows up I'll be sure to tell them not to speak because good ole' Mags likes silence when he's reading.  You know, I do too.  It's so hard to concentrate when people won't shut up.  Nothing ruins the whole thing for me than people who talk too much or what's even worse is when they give away the ending of the book which is why I'm not going to tell you that Ishmael is the only one still alive at the end of the book.  Oh Smurf! I'm sorry, man, really really sorry.  That just came out. I didn't mean to say anything. I hope I didn't just spoil it for you. maybe you can just pretend I didn't say anything.  Hey, I found this Guinness in the fridge. It was the only one, so I hope you don't mind I drank it.  I'll let you get back to your book, man. Super book. I hope you enjoy it.

No thanks to you lot I have somehow managed to finish my book 'Beyond Black' by Hilary Mantel which I enjoyed very much despite its utter bleakness.

I have a choice of 'A Place of Greater Safety' by Mantel or 'The Book of the New Sun' by Gene Wolfe to start next.

If I can get some peace and quiet.

And I thought mags invited everyone on the member’s list...

Does this mean we don’t get to watch the world cup? Shucks... just when Argentina is going home and dramatic finishes by Brazil and Switzerland...

Unfortunately (for you) the U boat is a sports free zone.  The closest we get to competition is eating out of date doughnuts to see who gets the illest.

Yup, read the foundation trilogy. :)
Now I’m working my way through the Robot series... waiting for a copy of the next one to be available in the library.
After that, the Foundation trilogy prequel and sequel. :)
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Pabs whenn you get done with those "Nightfall" is another great Asimov read.

Then there is Orson Scott Card and the Ender Series.  Be sure you start with the "Ender's Game" Short Story not the book.
