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 just finished “peripheral” and “agency” by William Gibson. So much better than (already fun) tv show.
Currently I’m re-reading some of early Neal Stephenson, starting with “the diamond age, or young lady’s illustrated primer”. I’ve originally read it while still learning English, so now I can fully appreciate not just the story but Stephenson’s wordcraft.
The thought of learning English from a Neal Stephenson books cracks me up. As a native English speaker they were hard to get through, especially Diamond Age which, while great, was a difficult read for me.
Neal was nothing, man. I actually first attempted to tackle William Gibson. Took me years to muster the guts to try again!
