Welcome to this most humble of blogs. I have always been a great fan of science fiction, mostly books but of course also movies and TV shows. This is a place where I plan to put all my thoughts about all of these type of SF and probably also mix it with some Fantasy related stuff.
In addition to the blog part of the site I have big plans for other things I feel aren’t available on the web in a form that suits me at this time. I will get back to you on this (if?) when I get the necessary time.
Last weekend I visited Stockholm and of course I just happened to stop by SF Bokhandeln, Sweden’s larget SF and Fantasy book store… These are the books I picked up:
- “The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” by Stephen Donaldson. I’m currently reading the first trilogy.
- “The Prefect” by Alastair Reynolds
- “Recursion”,
- “Capacity” and
- “Divergence” by Tony Ballantyne
- “Kushiel’s Scion” by Jacqueline Carey
Mostly looking forward to the new Revelation Space story by Reynolds and the second Thomas Covenant trilogy. I’m a huge fan of Donaldson’s SF work and so far I like the story of Covenant as well although I’m not 100% sure that I think it’s great, although I hope some parts of the story-telling will improve when I get further into the mammoth book (currently at page 356 of over 1150 pages).
