Moving on to The Glass Hotel.

Wow. This ain't no Station Eleven. A slow, clumsy, introspective, insular slog. Shame shame.

I am moving on to (god forgive me) Dan motherfuckingcunting Brown. The first in the series, Angels and Demons.

Moving on to The Da Vinci Code.

So, this book was clearly written by someone else than the first book in the series. And I understand the brilliance of it -- the hero of the story is actually Sophie, and Langdon is more like a Doctor Who companion asking questions and interpreting things for the audience.

In my ongoing Pandemic-related reading, I read the virus apocalypse book The End of October.

It fucking sucked! So I moved on to The Last Dance. And it is fantastic! Straight up well-written space opera. And, unlike the big alien space opera stuff, this one is set in the near future on a Mars cruise ship that's constantly cycling between Earth and Mars over a year or so. The book is straight up Murder on the Orient Express meets Rashomon. Very, very addictive.

Whiskey When We're Dry. A modern-day, feminist western. It's good, but also something of a challenge. I struggle with these novels-in-dialect.

Now reading Dead Mountain, which, so far, is a must read for Dyatlov Pass conspiracy folks. It's the best telling of the incident (or, at least, the telling of someone trying to figure out WTF) I've read.

Just finished a great history piece on the real Paul Revere. Really quite good. Paul Revere's Ride.

Okay! Slogged through the overlong Wine of Angels. Blah. There are 14 more books in this series. I will not be partaking.

Meanwhile, I bought Winter World -- sci-fi alien apocalypse -- on a lark and loved it!

Just finished the last book in Becky Chambers' wonderful series. The Galaxy, And The Ground Within. This series was stunning, and Chambers is easily my current top 5 SFF authors.
