I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
I DNFed Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. I had high hopes because the concept was reminiscent of Philip K Dick’s stories but I found the book to be a confusing slog with characters seemingly pulled from nowhere and with the plot muddling along with coincidences and revelations. There are a few gems of ideas in there, just takes too long to unpack.
It’s been awhile, but I vaguely remember the plot of Altered Carbon was a rip-off of a Raymond Chandler novel.
I really liked Altered Carbon but I didn’t like Thin Air (which is also by Morgan) so much. I really like detective stories though, like The Caves of Steel.
One of the few books I’ve DNFed as-well, I just stopped listening to it at some point. Found it very hard to follow. Maybe, because I was listening to the Audiobook? The text format might be easier to follow.
