| + | * [[wp>Absolution Gap]] by [[wp>Alastair Reynolds]] - This was decent. | ||
| + | ==== June ===== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Raw Spirit]] by [[wp>Iain Banks]] - Banks' first non-fiction book. It was on the shelf of the holiday home I was staying at this week. Not my usual thing (it was heavily focused on driving/cars etc) but the whisky trail was interesting (my favourite Highland Park was in the top three, makes me wanna visit some more distilleries). I'd also picked it up because it was the 10 year anniversary of Banks' death. Made me a little sad when he mentioned things he hadn't done/visited yet but said 'plenty of time'. It's inspired me to read his other non-SF work. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Forever Free]] by [[wp>Joe Haldeman]] - Quite interesting, it went a little all over the place. Not sure if I was a fan of the end, bit hand-wavey. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Forever Peace]] by [[wp>Joe Haldeman]] - Not related much to the first novel, but I did enjoy this story, and the world building. The idea was pretty unique, interesting. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Camoflauge]] by [[wp>Joe Haldeman]] - Got inspired by a discussion along the lines of "I really liked Forever War, why haven't I read more by this author?" to start reading a bunch of Haldeman. Working through recommendations. After: I enjoyed this, fascinating read. Reminded me of The Thing (the creature). | ||

| + | ==== May ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Accidental Time Machine]] by [[wp>Joe Haldeman]] - Reading this for the June sci-fi bookgroup, recommended by Munro. I enjoyed it. The AI characters were interesting. | ||
| + | ==== March ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Artifical Condition]] by [[wp>Martha Wells]] - This was decent. I'll read another. | ||
| ==== Feburary ==== | ==== Feburary ==== | ||
| * [[wp>Agency]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - Continuing the series while enjoying the TV show. I was captivated from the first chapter, enjoyed it. | * [[wp>Agency]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - Continuing the series while enjoying the TV show.
