I was going to finally finish Comey today, but then Overdrive suddenly dropped A Brief History... Choices choices.
"This is the world of wretched, tasteless food and watery drinks, dreary and crowded lodgings, outrageous plumbing, surly cynicism, long queues, shocking hygiene and dismal, rain-lashed holidays, continually punctuated by rudeness and philistinism."
- Christopher Hitchens aptly sums up the England that produced George Orwell and Philip Larkin.
Hard to find an image that depicts the early part of this book, it'll have to be this crappy one. Happy almost-easter! #scifi
Planning out the next #scifi read. Which one would you pick?
Raven Stratagem, by Yoon Ha Lee
An Unkindness of Ghosts, by Rivers Solomon
The Wanderers, by Meg Howrey
Provenance, by Ann Leckie
How to Stop Time, by Matt Haig
so-soChilling and creepy, but yet somehow unsatisfactory. Stops when it's about to get really interesting.
Ok, I'm new so let's do this #readingfavorites thing.
1. Ebook definitely, I have all my books with me all the time.
2. On a train, in the ssh-be-very-quiet-section, going far.
3. Coffee.
4. Multiple. A novel, some nonfiction, one of them audio for workouts and cleaning.
5. All the time. Stuff that needs brain power in the day, lighter stuff after six.
Lightyear, by Didrik Hallstrøm is a short piece of #scifi touching on climate change, interstellar travel and mental health. It isn't perfect, and I have questions, but it's by far the best Norwegian-language sci-fi I've read in a long time.
(How do I add books that aren't in the database? Added another book to post this.)
