Books & Reading Thread 2025

[RobMCFC]

The total does include a few novella's (ie: 3 from The Murderbot Diaries series) so not quite 50 full books but not too shabby so far.

Seeing as I haven't been detailing my reading here then if anyone wants to knwo what the list does include then it's available at the following link:

What did you think of The Angel's Game?

Enjoed it a lot. Not quite as good as The Shadow of the Wind but still a very good read. Somewhat darker than the first though. Will definitely be going back to the series at some point.

Anyone on here read Iain M Bank's Culture series?
Seen a few people include them in their sci-fi top tens (Use of Weapons and Excession being the usual suspects on the lists). Never read any of his books and wondered if they're a good shout for a sci-fi nerd like myself.

Yes, that's what I thought. Although when I first read it, I was disappointed by the come down from The Shadow of the Wind. But when I read it again many years later, in preparation for the final book in the series, I really enjoyed it and appreciated how it fit into the overall saga.
