Reading Matter Needed
I just finished Charles Stross' The Merchants War, number 4 in his series The Merchant Princes. I'd never really got into his work before but the first book in this series attracted my attention and that was it. It's a very complex, well-woven series and my only complaint would be that they're written too slowly! I found I needed to reread number 3 to reacquaint myself with What Went Before, not that this was a problem as I read too fast anyway and at least this kept me in reading matter for another day.
Since it'll be some time before number 5 shows up - I only know there'll be one because 4 finishes with an incomplete sentence - does anyone have any reading recommendations? I'm really off chicklit/paranormal romances right now. Probably not permanently, they have their merits (if I can use that word!) and I'll probably feel more like reading some more of them when I reach my end-of-year break. I'm quite fond of apocalypse fiction and most forms of sf so long as the writer gives equal attention to characterisation.
I am somewhat depressed right now, as anyone who read my last (FL) post can probably work out but having something good to read would certainly help.
