This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

    I was going to start on Ian M Banks’ Culture series, but I read a few reviews that said his writing style is a bit repetitive, and then I found John Scalzi, my first impression of Old Man’s War reminds me a bit of Pratchett and Douglas Adams, and I hope it continues in that fashion.

      That’s a very high praise. Going to get it as soon as I can now.

        I finished Old Mans War it is still good!, Scalzi does a good job with the world building, and just FYI it’s a bit gory from time to time.

        Minor spoiler about the setting

        I like the multiverse approach to interstellar travel it allows for endless possibilities.

        Having watched Rick and Morty helps with understanding multiverse idea (Currently its a less crazy version).

          I checked with my local shop, they didn’t had Old Mans War, going to order it online. Thanks for the info!
