Loved that Tchaikovsky trilogy! Like a mix between Firefly and The Culture
My favourite book this year was Children of Time (I read the whole trilogy!) so I definitely need to check out Shards of Earth
Some books I’ve read this year:
- Noise: a flaw in human judgement
- Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
- Cultish
- Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
- The Stand
- Everything is F*cked
I read Hail Mary last year and remember enjoying it, though I went in blind. Afterwards I read the blurb and it gave away something that happens in the middle of the book, which I wasn’t expecting to happen because I knew nothing about the book. So I advise going in blind if you can.
I remember that I really enjoyed the Dirk Gently books when I had read them. Unfortunate that Adams didn’t write more in that series. I absolutely love his writing. Planning to listen to the books when I finish And Another Thing.
I’ve just read the first one, my first introduction. But I then went on to watch the netflix series, maybe next year I’ll read the other books and see how they compare.
If I remember correctly, the netflix series is quite different from the books. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. The second season not so much.
