Given that it's also more fun to clean up the poop from all the farm animals, you can have that job too.
But....that's why I'm here!!!

Fantastic Voyage by Isaac Asimov is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Fun fact: This is actually a novelization by Dr. Asimov. He did not come up with the concept or create the story himself (though he did fix plot holes in the original script when he wrote the novelization).
He also complained that they told him he could meet Raquel Welch but he never did get to do so.

I tried reading Kushiel's Dart. I found it very dull and was unable to finish it. It was like reading a book about a tea party.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I haven't read Kushiel's Dart, but I have really enjoyed other books by Jacqueline Carey. And judging from books that JSWolf has disliked in the past, I should bump this one to the top of my TBR!

The Scar by China Miéville is $1.99 in the Amazon.com daily deal.

It's the sequel to Perdido Street Station, but can be read on its own. An excellent weird piratey adventure.

Hyperion is a really good book. Well worth reading.

I cannot speak about Carey's other books, but yes the first book in the Dart series is just really slow and really dull. Her other books do sound interesting and someday I'll try them.

When someone says a book in a series can be read in any order, that's when we know it has to be read in order.

FWIW, The Scar has about 5 paragraph that mention a character from Perdido Street Station, in a non-spoilery way, and no knowledge of the first book is required to understand it.

and the ones he recommends - "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" comes to mind - should be stroked out...
On the other hand he does seem to like Terry Pratchett... .

Well... I gave up after 100 pages or so. On the bright side: the title is good .
