Clyde (wishamc) Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey -- very good so far
and
Points of Impact by Marko Kloos -- I am addicted to this series; stopped another book to start this one. (The price is good: $4.99 for the ebook and another $1.99 for the audio version!)

Randy | 63 comments Rereading, probably for the 3rd or 4th time over the years. Not sure it's a good idea given Google, the media, the FBI memo, etc., but...

1984

Clyde (wishamc) Just finished Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel. I quite enjoyed it.
Now reading The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North.

I really like this series! (Apart from book 2, which didn't work.) I think the author does a great job at avoiding the usual YA stereotypes, and has a world that is a lot deeper than it first appears.

Clyde (wishamc) Artemis by Andy Weir
A World To Win by Upton Sinclair
Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente
Life on a Young Planet: The First Three Billion Years of Evolution on Earth by Andrew H. Knoll

Heh -- four books at once. Perhaps I am reverting to a pattern from the past. When I was in my teens and early twenties, I regularly had as many as six books that I was actively reading. (Nowadays as an old fart I mostly have just two going -- one ebook and one audio book.)

Sheryl | 96 comments Been busy and mostly reading non-fiction and romances lately. One I thought I'd mention here is Molly Caldwell Crosby' The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, the Epidemic that Shaped Our History. Very readable, I thought.

Sheryl | 96 comments Started the Gormenghast trilogy. Taking small bites to savor the language. And because it's so ponderous, I suppose. So far, it's the kind of book that wants to be read slow, seems like, not the kind that grabs you and demands you finish. Everything feels too inevitable for hurrying.

What did you think of A Heritage of Stars, Clyde? I tend to enjoy Simak, but he is all over the place for me in terms of style and subject. Which is to say, I always feel like I know what I'm getting into with a new-to-me Heinlein or Asimov, but with Simak, it can be a whole new world.

Well Sheryl, I pretty much agree with you about Simak. You never know quite what you are going to get with him. I am about 60% through A Heritage of Stars and I am getting this weird Samual R. Delaney kind of feel. (I'll try to remember to post back here when I finish.)


message 92: by Clyde (new)

Clyde (wishamc) Finished A Heritage of Stars. (Mildly entertaining; certainly not Simak's best work. 3 stars.)

Now reading Odysseus Ascendant by Evan Currie, and (non-genre) Blood Trail by C.J. Box.
