| + | ===== 2025 ===== | ||
| + | ==== January ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Doc Future and Flicker]] by [[wp>Alexx Kay]] - This is a self-published book I stumbled across on reddit. I'm really enjoying it so far. Some interesting ideas and cool characters. ([[https://docfuture.tumblr.com/|published on Tumblr]]). | ||

| + | * [[wp>Going Postal]] by [[wp>Terry Pratchett]] - A club recommendation. I really enjoyed it, I liked a lot of the characters, trying to decide which one to read next, maybe something that focuses on the death character. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Project Hail Mary]] by [[wp>Andy Weir]] - I'm only a few chapters in and I already know I'm going to finish this one before going back to the other books I'm currently reading. Finished: Loved this. Some interesting ideas (especially the hexagonal grid when building the airlock for example). Definitely going to check out Andy's other work, has that fun geeky style of writing I remember from the Bobiverse books. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== October ===== | ||
| + | * [[wp>BrainWeb]] by [[wp>Douglas E. Richards]] - I kinda liked this but it's just an action novel in the style of Matthew Reilly - which is fine, but I'd been led to believe it was something else. The author seems to mistake having a brain interface for browsing the web with being a competent hacker. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== July ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>Neuromancer]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - A classic. Re-read it for a bookgroup. Didn't get quite as much out of it as the first time, but it was nostalgic to read again. | ||
| ===== 2023 ===== | ===== 2023 ===== | ||
| + | ==== October ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>The Boys]] by [[wp>Garth Ennis]] - I'm really enjoying this, taking me a while to get through (about 1800 pages for the 5 volume omnibus). Quite different from the show. Certainly graphic. It's inspiring me to read some of Ennis' other work (and also go back to Transmetropolitian). Great. | ||
| ==== July ==== | ==== July ==== | ||
| + | * [[wp>The End of All Things (novel)|The End of All Things]] by [[wp>John Scalzi]] - I'm enjoying this, reminding me of the Bobiverse books so far. Finished: Aww, I was hoping for more of the main character (Rafe) but it changed in the last two thirds to be a mostly political drama. Not my cup of tea. It was interesting that the author showed the original draft (kinda) of the first part at the end of the book. It was interesting to see what parts were kept and which were 'excised'. | ||
| * [[wp>Absolution Gap]] by [[wp>Alastair Reynolds]] - This was decent. | * [[wp>Absolution Gap]] by [[wp>Alastair Reynolds]] - This was decent. | ||
