+===== 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]]).
+===== 2024 ====
+===== December =====
+  * [[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.
