Roundballnz wandering thru time .....

oops I did it again ....

Okay here's to ending 2019 & 2020 ..... & 2021 now 2022 random reading years

rather than mindlessly goofing off on SM ( its been my guilty pleasure since covid turned up on our doorsteps - cause reasons ....)

apologise for dropping off the grid in LT land .....

But I read a book this weekend 😎

The Cat Who Saved books - very quirky but absorbing book 😎

Now onto "Fragments from a Contested past" which of course has no touchstone because its NZ book.😎

Random reading sounds great! Welcome back.

Welcome back, Alex!

Great to see you Alex. Welcome back my friend.

Companion Piece Ali smith never disappoints, this is no exception great read/listen

incoming Sea of tranquility looking forward to this, heard great things & loved Station Eleven

>6 roundballnz: I might add those soon, Alex. I saw Sea of Tranquility is already in paperback in Malaysia but Companion Piece not yet. Isn't it about time that Ali Smith won the Booker?

>7 PaulCranswick: Definitely time for Ali Smith to be acknowledged - though just quietly often think the short list is the place to be rather than the winner 🤓

>8 roundballnz: Well she has managed that a time or four:

Hotel World (2001)
The Accidental (2005)
How to Be Both (2014)
Autumn (2017)

I reckon that a win would bring a smile after four near misses.

small break cause life & work 🤓

Currently juggling three books as is my want

The Three-Body Problem
Sea of tranquility
Fragments from a contested Past

>9 PaulCranswick: Reckon you are right .... seasons quartet is a fav of mine often gone back to read/listen to them.

>10 roundballnz: I will definitely add the latest Emily St John Mandel soon, Alex.

Finished The Three-Body Problem great book for those that love 'hard science fiction' full of dense ideas with the background of the cultural revolution. funnily enough reading it now has lot of crossover to the 'undermining of science" we are currently seeing 🤓

Yes i know it took me long enough to get here

Finished The Dark Forest definitely my kinda book .... looking forward to final book Deaths End these work really well in Audiio format

starting to read from my rather large TBR bookshelves .... think am emerging from my pandemic book funk .... picked up Agency yesterday Gibson is such a great writer, pulls you in from that first sentence ....
