Apr. 10th, 2005 04:36 pmThe Light Fantastic, by Terry Pratchett (reread)
Okay, this was a vast improvement on the first one and had some very solid parts. Was worth rereading, which I am not sure The Colour of Magic was. However, still doesn't measure up to the best in the series.

Terrorists of Irustan, by Louise Marley
An excellent book. I haven't liked a new-to-me feminist science fiction writer this much since the first Sheri Tepper I read, about 10 years ago. I am not going to say anything else because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

It's a Bird ..., by Steven Seagle
Meta-Superman comic about a guy who really doesn't want to write Superman, containing many mini-comics about (kinda) Superman. I read the advance proof, so I'm not sure how exactly the art matches up with the final version, but anyway I was touched and charmed by it, and felt the impulse to press it on some of my friends immediately (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
randomdreams, I think you would like this).

Chasm City, by Alastair Reynolds
I don't think this is the type of book I would normally pick up these days (too many guns, too much ferocious stomping through jungles), but it's really good! The writing is so well done, the necessary expository devices so neatly fitted in, the plot so intriguing - very enjoyable. I hear this is connected to his other novels, but I think it does very well as a stand-alone. I will be checking out other of his works.

A Bird in the House, by Margaret Laurence
This is a series of interconnected short stories. I enjoyed this, but it would not have made me fall in love with the author the way most of her other novels have.
