- Don't know if there are any William Gibson fans here, but I read his latest book, The Peripheral, this month and thought it was very good. The world building was fantastic, and although I was a little let down by a very tidy ending, I would still rank it among my favorite sci-fi books from the last year or so.
- I read Cat's Cradle and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater this month in my Vonnegut re-read project. Cat's Cradle is still pretty great, although it's funny how much I remembered the post-apocalyptic parts of the book considering how little of that there actually is. Mr. Rosewater was not my favorite of his, but it was one of the novels I hadn't read before, so the completist in me is happy to have read it.
- I finished The Last Policeman series (The Last Policeman, Countdown City, World of Trouble). Easy books to read, and I liked the setup for the mysteries (society is breaking down as an asteroid will destroy the Earth very soon).
- I also finally got around to reading Citizen by Claudia Rankine. It's a powerful book. I was looking for where others posted their thoughts (I know Pepper and CH have read it as well), but didn't immediately find it. It's very much worth a read.
Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
