 === Books I'm currently reading === === Books I'm currently reading ===
 +  * [[wp>​Cage of Souls]] by [[wp>​Adrian Tchaikovsky]] 
 +=== On hold === 
 +  * [[wp>​Star Maker]] by [[wp>​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) 
 +  * [[wp>​Sum:​ Tales from the Afterlives]] by [[wp>​David Eagleman]] - Munro gave me this, I've read a handful of the shorts already, some pretty interesting ones so far. (started reading March 2017) 
 +  * [[wp>​Stiff:​ The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers]] by [[wp>​Mary Roach]] - Mentioned on Slashdot, sounds interesting. It'd been om my to-read list since Sep 2009. It's now my non-fiction bedside book (started reading in Dec 2016) 
 +  * [[wp>​Transmetropolitan]] by [[wp>​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)
