Freedom's just a metaphor when you've got nowhere to go. Get lost, read a book. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An excellent book with 'The Boy on the Bridge' being even better, imho obviously.

I put off 'Addie' for ages and loved it when I got around to it, I've had 'Bone Clocks' for a couple of years, I hope it is similarly excellent. πŸ‘

'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'.
The story is ok, a little bit 'The Prestige'.
But it was just too long with a lot of padding and unlikeable characters.
Very much just my opinion.

But you had a problem with a British male narrator for a British male character instead of a female US narrator, yes?

Holy moly, halfway through 'The Overstory' by Richard Powers, lovely writing btw, and I feel like I'm starting an episode of the BBCs 'Casualty' every time I begin a new chapter/short story.
Apologies to non-UK readers of this.

Lol, I would've said it was impossible a couple of years ago but even I'm spending more time on here, not just the #booksky part.
But the madness of ableism, Operation Hugahooligan and being force fed Tory MPs has really toxified Twatter.

Revelation Space and it's sequels are ok, not many likable characters but the Prefect Dreyfus trilogy set in the same universe is more enjoyable, imho. And his standalone novels, A Century of Rain/Pushing Ice, are a lot more pleasing, again only in my opinion.

I'd be interested in your views on it, I read it before 'The Empire Strikes Back' was released (yes I'm that oldπŸ˜„) and haven't gotten around to reading it since.

The 'Thomas Covenant' ones are excellent and ahead of their time. The Star Wars one, 'Splinter' is the best Star Wars movie that never was. (There's a very good reason for that, which you'll realise when you read it.)
Those are the only ones I've read, enjoy!
(You lucky man😁)

I finally got around to the Hyperion Cantos in July after buying Hyperion when it was first published.
It was an excellent series, Endymion just edged out Hyperion as my favourite in the series.
Enjoy.πŸ™‚πŸ‘

After this, Alien Clay and the Children of Time series, he really does have a handle on the whole first contact sub-genre.
