Finished "Children of The Mind" on Monday. Quite quite brilliant. Picked up "Ender's Shadow", expecting it to continue on from the end of CoTM, and discovered it's actually a re-telling of "Ender's Game" from the point of view of another character. Initially disappointed that the next book in the series didn't advance the main story, but returned to the beginning, I quickly revised my opinion as I realised that it was a wonderful story.
I have just finished it, at my desk at work, over lunch. The end is utterly heartbreaking, in a good way. Glad my desk faces a corner so no-one saw me drying my eyes.
Shot through Consider Phlebas (Iain M Banks) again in the last week or so. Mainly because I was heading to the bog and needed something to read, but I enjoyed it nonetheless
Currently I am reading the Neal Asher Polity series of sci-fi books. Sort of. Basically I'm buying everything I can find that the man has written and having a wonderful time reading them.
Then presumably it'll be time for the newest round of Doctor Who books for me to get stuck into.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss
Just finished 'Beyond Uhura', by Nichelle Nichols (of course). Very interesting, and in some places something of an eye-opener.
Now reading 'Outbound Flight' by Timothy Zahn. Set between Episodes I and II, and featuring the original Jorus C'Baoth (slightly less madder than his later clone, but only just) as well as a certain red-eyed, blue-skinned member of the Chiss species who would later cause so much trouble for the New Republic. Only a fifth of the way through so far, but it's well up to Zahn's usual standard.
Quite sexually explicit, which most of my recent books have been
And though you're gone, you're with me every single day believe me
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure
