I'm a fairly slow reader, and have been reading more lately. Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny, Fred Saberhagen were my favorites when I was younger (I still remember them fondly). My favorite series lately is Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.

finished reading The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow: The Lost Cause (TOR)

It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. But …

It was nice to read something positive and hopeful. It was also nice to read about solving problems as a group, using guerilla civil engineering.

finished reading The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman (The Thursday Murder Club, #4)

Richard Osman: The Last Devil to Die (Hardcover, 2023, Penguin Random House)

You'd think you would be allowed to relax over Christmas, but not in the world …

This one was much more emotional than the previous books in the series, and a great deal of character development. The crime and resolution tend to take a back seat to this focus. It also seems to prepare for stories to come.
