|---|---|---|
| Dungeon Crawler Carl | Feels like it's pitching itself to tweens. Dumb humour. Dumb plot. The writing is okay. It's easy to read, but I don't feel... enriched. | |
| February 2026 | ||
| Fugitive Telemetry | A Murderbot detective story? Loved it! | |
| Draw Steel - Heroes | A dense rulebook for a TTRPG. Exciting to invest time into. | |
| Murderbot - Network Effect | An absolute pleasure to read a full novel. Really has time to breathe. | |
| January 2026 | ||
| A City on Mars | Weirdly dry pop science by a great cartoonist. A struggle to finish but perhaps because I'm out of practice with non-fiction. | |
| October 2025 | ||
| Murderbot 1-3 | Easy to read. Pleasant. Comforting. | |
| April 2025 | ||
| I'm beginning to worry about this black box of doom | Best work yet by Jason Pargin. Thoughtful and touching. | |
| April 2024 | ||
| Sandman Book 3 | These just aren't for me. I don't think I'll be continuing. Stories are just too ethereal. | |
| A Life with Footnotes | Terry Pratchett bio. Very slow to start. Somewhat cathartic but not super interesting to read. | |
| March 2024 | ||
| Making Money | I didn't have the fondest memories of this Prachett but on a second reading it's quite interesting. | |
| January 2024 | ||
| Discworld - Thief of Time | Another great. | |
| Discworld - Going Postal | One of my favourites. | |
| All the Birds in the Sky | This book doesn't know what it wants to be. Start out like Matilda and gets real violent and sexy. Underwhelming. | |
| December 2023 | ||
| Blindsight | Heady sci-fi about how aliens think and communicate. Worth reading but a bit dense and unfriendly. | |
| April 2023 | ||
| If this book exists you're in the wrong universe. | Had its moments but nothing really special. | |
| February 2023 | ||
| The Shepard's Crown | Prachett's final novel is special for what it means. The story itself has some charm but lacks some as well. | |
| October 2022 | ||
| Feet of Clay | Trying out Audible. It's weird having to concentrate so hard one what I'm listening to. Not sure if audio books are for me. Great story though. | |
| September 2022 | ||
| Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality | Impressive fan fic. Huge long book I ended up not being able to put down. | |
| July 2022 | ||
| Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality | Fan fiction about Harry using the scientific method. Bad character writing but really fun ideas. | |
| March 2022 | ||
| The Martian | Read this again. Engaging yarn. | |
| The Binding | I started this ages ago and found it a bit of a slog but once it kicked into gear it was a decent little yarn. | |
| Recursion | Really fun to read sci-fi adventure. Pleasantly challenging to think about. | |
| January 2022 | ||
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits | Fun sci-fi by one of the Internet's best funny writers. | |
| March 2021 | ||
| 3 Bags Full | Sheep solve shepherd's murder. Cute detective story that doesn't really stick the landing. | |
