What is everyone reading at the moment?

I'm rereading the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons. Awesome sci-fI books, especially if you love the poetry of John Keats .

Im currently going back and forth between The Island by Aldous Huxley and Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene...

I have a couple of Vonnegut books waiting in the wings...the last few he published before his passing, which I have been waiting to read until I have the time to really sit down and digest them...

Charles Stross, Neptunes' Brood, a space opera . Also any Laundry Files novels by the same author. Definitely different...... somewhat along the lines of the Johannes Cabal novels.

The Postmortal by Drew Magary.  What if you could get "the cure" and not age from the day you took it and with its promise of near immortality live longer than anyone ever came close to imagining?  That is the basic premise of this dystopian novel that takes place in the not too distant future.  I am quite enjoying the book.

I read that book when it first came out Freddy - I liked it, but I felt it could have gone deeper and said more

Lee, I definitely agree with you on both points. I am about two-thirds of the way through it and I believe that, in my mind, I am doing a lot of "what if". However, it is those thoughts that are letting me take ownership of the story, if that makes sense. For me, it's an easy read that gets me to think a bit.

I think I may have previously mentioned this book but after reading through the thread about why men should get into traditional wet shaving I thought of it again in the context of men returning to the pursuit of manly things.  Anyway the book is Thirteen by Richard Morgan (in Canada its published under the title Black Man).  I also highly recommend the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy.  I think Morgan's books fall under the category of Cyber-punk scifi.

I just finish Altered Carbon and loved it.

You have the next two in the trilogy to look forward to. I have never considered myself a sic-fi reader but I really enjoyed Morgan's work.

Enough for me... on the Kindle when I get home!

I am currently addicted to Louise Penney's Chief Inspector Gamache novels.
