Disquiet by Julia Leigh

 

[Spider-Fan]

Been a while since I read a good fiction book (Dune last year). so I opted to buy myself a couple novels to tide myself over until I can find my copy of Dune Messiah.

Currently reading:

Hyperion by Dan Simmos

About 100 pages in. So far, really good.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I am forgoing trying to remember all the GN's I read this year, and focusing on just novels for this thread.

Finished:

Hyperion by Dan Simmons (4.5/5)

-Great book. Incredibly detailed world (though it makes some parts of the novel dry), great characters, and I love the stories (all except for 1 of them). Very stylized, too. Highly recommend for any Sci-Fi fan, and I can't wait to read the next one.

I am debating on what to read next. Either The Fall of Hyperion, Dune Messiah, or Rendezvous with Rama.
