'Termination Shock' by Neal Stephenson - pretty good! On the last 100 pages; can't help that of the intertwined storylines, one or two are little lack-lustre and the others could be expanded upon; we'll see if he can pull them together in the finale.

Finished 'The Knowledge' - was 3/4 way through 6 months ago and hit a wall (& other books) so parked it. Found a couple of quiet afternoons to polish it off. Its a good read but you have to be in the right mood - I'd actually love to see a BBC documentary series on each chapter as it would make for quite an education show in terms of practically kick-starting a number of critical technologies after an apocalyptic event.

I recently finished "Flying Blind" by Peter Robison, about the Boeing and the 737 MAX fiasco. Highly recommended if you're interested in the inside story of how Boeing came to that juncture. Makes me want to fly on Airbus. :-O

Am currently reading "Why We Lost" by Daniel Bolger, an inside account of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and will be starting "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir (author of The Martian).

What is the cat's opinion of the book?

What is the cat's opinion of the book?

Reading just gets in the way of important lap-time as far as the cat is concerned ?

I'm reading the massive science fiction novel To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars by Christopher Paolini. I at least am interested enough to keep reading but will reserve judgement until I get to the presumed punchline/wrapup at the end.

About a 1/3rd of the way through Mark Lanegans autobiography 'Sing backwards and weep' - loved Screaming Trees & his solo stuff + work with Queens of the Stone Age and Twilight Singers/Gutter Twins.

Christmas gift. Mr Draper was my photography instructor many years ago in the community college. I had no idea of his past. He rarely spoke of it.

About 2/3rds through the new Alistair Reynolds 'Inhibiter Phase' - pretty good. Enjoying being back in the Revelation Space milieu he established in some of his earlier novels.
