final

Its the end of the semester, in my senior year that means i will still be working through the christmas break but thats what it is . I really enjoyed this class, i was able to read a lot of novels, some are that which i would have never done on my own but so glad i did. I would have never have read Warbreakers on my own, i absolutely loved that book, probally the best one we read in this class. The fantasy adventure books are my favorite, when i was young(12-16) i read lots of Conan novels, most were written by his creator Robert E. Howard but a few were written by Robert Jordan. Those books have the same feel as Warbreakers, i was almost picturing Conan to emerge and say the day while i was reading. To conclude, this class has gotten me back into reading, which is something i really needed to do anyway, and has inspired me to read more.

cyberpunk

the cyberpunk stories were pretty good, just that it reminds me of back in the day when i used to play a rpg of cyberpunk. in the game you have a character with 1 minor implant, as you progress you get more implants and cybernetic limb and so on, but the more cybernetics you get the more difficult it is for you to move around or interact with people without getting attacked, fun game. Bladerunner is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, glad we got to see some of it in class, its the core of the cyberpunk movement.
