Finished: Solar Bones

Loved it - a beautiful melancholic wander through a human mind. It perfectly captured the tangential trains of though and the irrelevant details that regular thought does. It also had moments of spiralling cyclic thoughts which was interesting seen put into words. Hard to put down.

Now Starting: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Birthday present from Kim. I am slightly apprehensive about this - as it is a "classic" sci-fi, with all the baggage that that normally entails.

Finished: Sane New World

A mixed book - the mindfulness description (Ch 4) I thought was really good, as was the conclusion - a strong passionate case for why we all need to take more care of our thoughts. However, the books "jokes" are too frequent, and not funny. More often than not they are fat-phobic or racist.

Finished: Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl

This is a really enjoyable, sexy queer book, with a somewhat flat ending. It felt like the whole book was building to a big gradual reveal, that came about two chapters before the end of the book. Then it just carries on, without really having anything more to say.
