the *REAL* pulp fiction

Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:08 am by ssjgarretjax

Does anyone still read pulp fiction or serialized novels?
Examples and my favorites
The Destroyer (murphy and sapir)
Mack Bolan Phoenix force stony man farm etc (Don Pendleton)
John Carter of Mars (Edgar Rice Burroughs)
The Lensman series (E.E Doc Smith)
Doc Savage (cant remember authour)
The Deathlands (James Axler)
Blade/endworld (David Robbins)

Deathlands and The destoyer are the only recent ones I have read or listened too. Does anyone else read em? have other series to suggest? When I get the $$$ I will hit the used book stores for em

I read the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. Is that the type of novel you are talking about?

I like jordan but I stopped after Winters heart I refuse to read any more until his series is finished. he drags things on waaaaaaaaaaay to much I mean the assault on Tar Valon has been happening for what 3 books and it has nt actually happened yet? grrrrrr. anyway no those are a series of novels. I mean Formulaic Writing sp? take an idea Character or event change a few variables and voila a brand new book. they are usually 200 to 300 pages max they may be a serial (following a timeline) or each one existing as a standalone story

Does "The Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy" counts as pulp or should I see that as "cult"?

Fri Mar 04, 2005 8:07 pm by DSQrn

*shrugs* The hitchhiker series was some of the best written...

Restaurant at the end of the galaxy was a damn good book, perhaps even better than the first in the Hitchiker series (sue me, I don't know what pulp fiction is, so I couldn't help you define it...)

Resturant I have to agree Wilde is the best of the lot. Pulp fiction is defined as Sensationalized or poorly written fiction. The errr Hercules/Xena of books

(not a dig I loved em but they were AWFUL)
edit or take another example. The A-team style of books
That help?
