Only two books this week - 3-9 September. One audio and one which has been on my unread pile for at least a decade.
I bought my first Asimov novel when I was fifteen or sixteen, after watching The Bicentennial Man and buying my first few Sci-Fi Masterworks novels. And since then it has been sat on my shelf. I'm relieved I finally read it.
It was pretty good! A sci-fi detective story/space opera. It's the third in a series but I don't think I missed much by not having read the others.
Shelter is another sci-fi novel. Throughout most of it, I was thinking "Oh, do fuck off Meredith". Having finished the book, I still don't think much of Meredith. It was great though. Normally with audiobooks, even ones I enjoy, I am impatient to get on with them and so I listen at 3x speed. I barely did that at all with this one. I embroidered and listened and barely noticed the hours going by.
I start college on Monday. I give myself permission now to update monthly, or even further apart, whenever I have time. Things are going to slip; while I enjoy these posts, they are low enough down my list of priorities that nothing disastrous will happen if they slip.
