I'm mostly a sci-fi reader, preferring happy feelgood stories, and competency porn, but reading a lot of different stuff makes me happy :)

Slowly getting better

I'm starting to enjoy this series more and more, the pacing and everything in this one just felt better to me than in the previous ones, now I'm looking more forward to the next one than what I thought I would.

Jonas Bals: Våre kamper (EBook, 2023, Res publica) No rating

Fascismen er tilbake som en politisk kraft, men det er også antifascismen. Hva var og …

Lærte mye om antifascisme i mellomkrigstida både i Norge og andre i hovedsak europeiske land. Det er en lang bok, men det er veldig dagsaktuelt stoff.

Sammen med Gerhardsen og Tranmæl er Hambro, som antagelig vies større plass enn dem begge, den store antifascistiske helten i denne framstillinga. I en periode virker han å være nærmest den eneste borgerlige stemmen som kjemper mot en borgerlig-fascistisk allianse. Jeg tipper Bals har hatt veldig lyst til at noen av dagens borgerlige politikere skulle plukke opp boka og ta til seg dette, men det kommer de jo ikke til å gjøre. Det finnes ingen Hambro som advarer mot å gå i allianse med ytre høyre i dag.

I'll just go on with these, as they are mostly quite fun, not high literature in any way, but the characters are quite enjoyable, and they are quite quick and fun popcorn reads.

Sharon Lee, Steve Miller: Plan B (2003, Ace) 4 stars

A rousing militart space adventure with larger than life characters.

Really enjoyed this one

5 stars

This was a fun book, it kind of went between space opera and mil-sf, two genres that I generally like quite a bit, had a lot of fun with this one, it's well written, and I really liked the characters :D

Misery porn with a good ending

2 stars

I didn't enjoy the first 80% of this book, it kind of reveled too much in misery, violence and people being dicks to each other. The last 20% when the resistance finally had been building up and things got going it was a lot better.

I remember I got this book and was quite excited about it, don't quite remember why, but I'll start and I guess I will find out, it's a bit violent, and I haven't really gotten to like the characters yet, but there is still time.
