I read Never let me go, and it must say Kazuo Ishiguro is a bit heavy for me.

'Remains of the day' is the only book by Ishiguro that I've read and I just love it - the film too, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. It's an amazing story.

An intricate book with a lot of interesting ideas. But I found it uncommonly hard to read.

I began "Die Erfindung der Rote Armee Fraktion durch einen manisch depressiven Teenager im Sommer 1969".

This one won some prizes in Germany, but is also quite difficult to read.

If have finished the tome, havin mixed Feelings about it. I would only recommend the book to People having concsiously lived in Germany in the late 60's or early 70's.

"45 Positional Techniques"

"Complex Analysis" by Stein & Shakarchi - out of a desire to do something useful with my life.

Still working on 'The Expanse', Finished Leviathan Wakes, which was what Season 1 of The Expanse TV series was about, now on Caliban's War, looking forward to seeing it in Season 2 on the Sci-Fi channel. So... many... characters!

I've been reading a number of L.E. Modesitt, Jr books, "The eternity artifact", 'Haze' and 'Hammer of darkness'. That last was written in 1985. Trying to figure if there was a sequel. Now starting another Modesitt, "Solar Express". He has written 60 books so far!

“As a rule, you knew it was time to eat when you could hear potatoes exploding in the oven. Happily, all this suited my father. His palate only responded to two tastes - burned and ice cream - so everything suited him so long as it was sufficiently dark and not startlingly flavorful. Theirs truly was a marriage made in heaven, for no one could burn food like my mother or eat it like my Dad.”
- Bill Bryson, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid

I am just reading Siegmund Freud:: "Jenseits des Lustprinzips" a classic I hadn't come to up to now.

Finishing another Modesitt, Killing Frost. Sci Fi military space opera.

Retract that, it isn't Modesitt, Killing Frost is by Scott Gamboe. Rhymes with Rambo🙂

“She could no longer borrow from the future to ease her present grief.”

Hawthorne's masterpiece, set in Puritan Massachusetts, a great book.

Murder House by James Patterson & David Ellis

Just finished "The Martian" by Andy Weir. There was a really good movie out last year. The book was wrthwhile even though I had seen the movie first.
