[ Books ] 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke, 'Leviathan Falls' by J S A Corey
What am I reading at the moment while I try and recover from surgery and avoid climbing steps, lifting weights, riding horses...?
- 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke. This feels very abstract at first, reminded me of some stories by Jorge Luis Borges -that Library of Babel of his- but it does move away from that into what so far (but I'm only 70% into the book so there could be surprises) looks like a kind of Many Worlds story with a twist. Loving it but paused my reading this as it is the Bibliogoth set reading for this month and didn't want to finish it too early and have forgotten all about the book by the time the meeting came. So atm I'm reading:
- 'Leviathan Falls' by J S A Corey, the last instalment of The Expanse. The special effects are so much better in the book than in the series :D -more importantly, the characters are believable, human and in the context of its universe the incredible conflicts they are faced with turn out.... credible. I'm on Dreamwidth at http://flaviomatani.dreamwidth.org/ -do follow me there if you can.
