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.

Now Starting: Sane New World

Recommended (with caveats) by Kim. A mindfulness guide.

Now Starting: Shadow Run

 Birthday present from Kim.

Now starting: The Amber Spyglass

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman 

Now Starting: The Subtle Knife

The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman. Re-reading this, in preparation for reading the second Book of Dust

Now Starting: Paradise Rot

Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval. I picked this up at the mushroom exhibition at Somerset House.

Now starting: Paul takes the form of a mortal girl

By Andrea Lawlor. Leant to me by Ula.

Now starting: La Belle Sauvage

The Book of Dust Volume 1: La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman

Now Starting: The Left Hand of Darkness

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. I am very excited to be reading such an influential sci-fi author that I had so far missed out on. Belated present from David.

Now Starting: Good As You

By Paul Flynn Another birthday present from Kim. 

Now Starting: The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind

By Jackson Ford A birthday present from my parents.

Now Starting: Cryptonomicon

By Neal Stephenson. I've been meaning to read something by this author. I heard Snow Crash is very good, but this was what was available the library!

Now Starting: How Bad Are Bananas?

By By Mike Berners-Lee (who is in fact the brother of Tim Berners-Lee, best known for inventing the internet). I am a bit late in posting this (so back dating it), but I was very excited to start reading this (spoiler alert: it does not disappoint).

Now Starting: Zendegi

By Greg Egan. Making up for a lack of fiction I've read recently with one of my favourite sci-fi authors.

Now starting: Not Working - Why We Have to Stop

By Josh Cohen Christmas present from Mark.

Now starting: Solar Bones

By Mike McCormack. I got this for Christmas last year and only just getting round to starting it...
