What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)

[macdoc]

Flavour is very like Erikson...decent humour...have not quite got a feel for the wider world being created.

Taking a reading break for a few weeks and switching to audio books and for once I'm ahead of using up the credits ...next one is not until Oct,
Will binge Alistair Reynolds and Alexander Hamilton series. It works well as we both adore those two authors so good use of funds. Been buying the annual 12 credit deal instead of monthly - saves a bit.
It will get me riding more now the wet season is fading ( not fast enough tho - even the locals are whinging ).

Strange debut novel - the appeal is it is set entirely in Tasmania and using actual locations so I'm following those locations on gmap and actually viewing them

So he is describing the boardwalks at Cradle Lake ....et voila
Interesting journey and some sparkles of real innovation in the writing.
Fairly unique set of circumstances for me
Two more novels from him and will be in Tas when reading.
Making me chuckle as he talks about the bakery town of Exeter and up pops Exeter Bakery.

I've spent some time on those board walks.

Looking forward to it tho not the cold. Very Interesting experience to track a novel via gmaps to bring the writing to actual visual experience

Really enjoyed the three Tas novels above. Very unique.

I've never quite understood how a 1909 YA book captured 120 years of readers and Limberlost as a name of a place shows up in the oddest locations around the world.

Add a nursery in Cairns to the list....something magical in the name

62 reprints, hundreds of covers, several movies.

Greg Egan's new one is... quirky - with an unstated, uncommented-on premise which creeps up on you as you became me drawn further in.
