Readings:

Still the same books as last week. I don't think it was a good idea to start 3 books at once, I am probably going to focus of Bands of Mourning, which has become really interesting. Still have about 1/3rd of the book to go though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Someone mentioned the author in another thread saying he was peak sci-fi right now, so went off just that and went in blind.

It’s definitely got my attention so far. Very interesting.

Yeah very good book indeed, read it last year. It's really fascinating throughout the whole story.

For others that read it, are the sequels worthy reading?

Fantastic book, I think it's one of my all-time favs.

Me too! I think I saw that same thread.

I think it's interesting as well, but I do have a few issues with it. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes though.

I read it just last month, very interesting book. You can really tell he studied zoology.
