It has been over a month this time. Sheesh. I have been keeping my 2015 reading list up to date but keep forgetting to post here.
African Diary was interesting enough for me to put a couple of his other books on my holds list. Since then I have read:
- Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett, book 4(?) in the Moist Von Lipwig sub-series. Another entertaining read.
- The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove. An alien invasion goes all wrong for the invaders in an unexpected way.
- Troll Bridge by Terry Pratchett, a Discworld/Cohen short story.
- Phantoms by Dean Koontz. Gee, I can't understand how he got the label of "horror" writer. I enjoyed this a lot even if he regrets getting that label because of it.
- Kraken by China Miéville. Certainly "weird" fiction but very fun.
- Vanishing Act by Thomas Perry, the first of the Jane Whitefield books.
I just started
The Magicians by Lev Grossman this morning and it is looking good although it doesn't seem to have the same magic that made Harry Potter such a wonderful series.
