Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
I finished Children of Memory the other day. 4/5. Solid sci-fi, different to the first 2 books in the trilogy. But of a trip with how it unfolds, and well executed I think.
Also been listening to the audiobook version of John Lee Anderson’s biography of Che Guevara. This is much more entertaining than I expected and very well written (and read). Just getting on to the Cuban Missile Crisis with about 1/3 left to go.
I'm somewhere in the middle of the 2nd book. Absolutely LOVED the first. People seem to either love or hate the 3rd.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Will you be reading the 4th one when it comes out soon?
Now I know there is a fourth coming out I will! Thanks!
The second was the worst for me: not bad, but a bit up itself in places.
"Up itself" 🤣 You mean, like he spends too many pages trying to show off how deep/smart he is rather than focus on telling a story?
