For me in SciFi I’ve been trying to hit some classics so I’ve read ‘The Iron Dream’ by Norman Spinrad, ‘A Time of Changes’ by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) ‘Out of the Ruins’ anthology.
Of those three I enjoyed ‘The Iron Dream’ the most since I didn’t enjoy Silverberg’s potraryal of women (and it doesn’t seem to have literary intent like in ‘The Iron Dream’.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn’t been memorable.
So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?
I just started book 9 of Malazan – so have been taking a detour from proper sci fi for a while. Epic series.
I started reading Children of Time out loud to my GF. Because she hates spiders, and I told her she’d love Portia :)
Funny coincidence, I started reading this because someone told me there’s one about octopodes later.
