What are you reading

[John the Monkey]

Finished "The Right to the City", and launched into "Morgan's Men", a history of the England limited overs side from their defeat in 2015 to becoming 50 over World Cup winners in 2019. It's nice to relive what was a pretty special period, and gain some insight into the thinking and tactics of the key players in England's limited overs revival.

Fatherland - page turner, 5/5
Perfidia - huge book, even if it takes place in a handful of locations in LA, throughout 2 weeks or so during December 41

Neuromancer was like a door into another existence when I read it as a teenager. No other book could compare. And possibly nothing since.
It was like the experience of Matrix at the cinema - but inside my head, years earlier, and only my head!

(Incidentally, Idoru is the 4th book - listed as the first in the Bridge Trilogy. But maybe you knew ... )

Love this quote:
A 52-year-old Gibson later commented on himself as an author, circa Neuromancer, that "I'd buy him a drink, but I don't know if I'd loan him any money,"

Made a start on "Admiral Jole and the Red Queen" - one of the newer books in the Vorkosigan saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Prior to that, read "Memory", "Cetaganda" and "Cryoburn" - all volumes in the same series. Though each book can be read as a stand-alone, so you can dip in and out without sacrificing any enjoyment of the stories.

A must read! Gad Saad explains how idea pathogens are infecting our generations minds, and how freedom of speech is being slowly taken away by them.

Any book endorsed by Jordan Peterson is one to avoid.

The reviews look like it's full of conspiracy theories.

Our resident conspiracy theorist being taken in by a conspiracy theorist who also happens to be a professor in marketing? Who'd a thunk it?

Yes, Bukowski is great, if sometimes a tough read.

I've got a love for classic sci fi, not just reading the greats but finding previously unknown (to me works). I'm reading Gordon R Dickson's 'Dorsai' saga though it's more commonly referred to the Childe Cycle, there are several books and novels in the series. These are all set in the 21st century onwards where mankind has splintered into several sub groups following their departure from earth.

Tactics of Mistake

An interesting read of how an unproven military tactic, devised by a single man, can prove decisive in war.

Soldier Ask Not

Though published before ToM its set roughly 100 years after with common elements carried forward.

Just a side not it's important to me when getting these older books to find the editions with the time relevant artwork, modern versions are often ebooks with terrible covers!
