Target: about 35 books
So far have read the following 5:
- Koko the mighty - Kieran Shea: Liked it but didnt love it. No thinking required, fun read. A bit short and the ending leaves too much unresolved.
- Fool's Quest - Robin Hobb: Despite Fitz's occasional dumbass thinking I liked it a lot. It's a good sequel. Looking forward to the final book.
- Spin - Robert Charles Wilson: A different kind of sci-fi, enjoyed it. Built up the suspense rather well and left a door open for a sequel or 2.
- Furiously Happy - Jenny Lawson: A different kind of autobiography. Kind of like a collection of anecdotes, a la Tucker Max, but written by a person who has phobias, depression, and manias. Pretty funny.
- Made to Kill - Adam Christopher: Last robot in existence becomes PI. Starts off really good, but after the midway point becomes a bit silly or underdelivers, I'm not sure. Still entertaining but I'd not recommend it unless it comes cheap
Currently reading:
The Thing Itself - Adam Roberts: a tale that discusses the Fermi paradox through it's protagonists. So far I'm liking it, about 30% through.
The power of Now - Eckhart Tolle: stopped reading about 10% in. Was recommended by a colleague, but not my cup of spirituality.
City of Blades - Robert Jackson Bennett; really liked City of Stairs so excited about this sequel, 3% in.
the Warrior-Prophet: Behind on my re-read, but taking it slow in case the Great Ordeal is delayed...
