Books I'm currently reading
The Boys by
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).
Feersum Endjinn by
Iain M. Banks - I was just lamenting that I'd read all of Banks' work and realised this one had escaped my attention (probably because it wasn't a Culture story). Happy to have found it and made a start now at least.

Burning Chrome by
William Gibson - I was particularly interested in reading one of the short stories, Hinterlands, recommened on a reddit thread somewhere but I'd been planning on reading more of William Gibson so this seemed like a good place to start/continue. I'd read it before, but enjoying it. Looking for some inspiration around VR worlds/games.
On hold
Star Maker by
Olaf Stapledon - Borrowed this from Munro to read for a bookgroup. I found the first chapter overly flowery but by the second chapter I was hooked, and now I'm amazed how ahead of its time it was (for 1937). Still reading, waiting to find out about the Dyson/Stapledon sphere (started reading July 2017)

Transmetropolitan by
Warren Ellis - Not a novel, but a collection of 60 comics put together. I'm impressed with it so far, I like Spider (started reading in March 2016)
