Spring 2019 reading list

I Contain Multitudes – Ed Yong
This was fascinating and I hope he writes more on the subject and for that matter I should look and see what other books Ed Yong has written because he’s an excellent science writer.

Vorkosigan Saga: The Warrior’s Apprentice, Border of Infinity (collection of 3 novellas), Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, Brothers in Arms, Mirror Dance, Memory, Komarr, A Civil Campaign, Diplomatic Immunity – Lois McMaster Bujold

After actually laughing out loud at a random comment by Ivan Vorpatril of the Vorkosigan books and realizing that I had essentially become friends with all the characters to the detriment of an actual social life and I forced myself to stop reading the series for at least a week or so.

Collected Novellas – Ursula K LeGuin
Particularly beautiful pieces in this. Her writing often strikes me as sad, I wonder how much of that is me and how much is from the work itself.

The Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 – Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth (Illustrator), Mike Dringenberg (Illustrator), Charles Vess (Illustrator), Michael Zulli (Illustrator), Kelley Jones (Illustrator), Chris Bachalo (Illustrator), Malcolm Jones (Illustrator), Danny Vozzo (Illustrator), Colleen Doran (Illustrator)  (reread)

The Wheel of the Infinite – Martha Wells
I read this book right at the time I did just to force myself to take a break from the Vorkosigan books and it suffered for that. I didn’t really want to be reading it, I wanted to be reading something else. I’ll need to reread it sometime after a long break so I don’t remember it as well.

Distrust that Particular Flavor – William Gibson
An interesting thing to read if you are a huge fan of William Gibson (I am) but probably not so much if you aren’t. Interesting to me just to have any peek into the actual life of an author who creates such vibrant fiction.

I might have read more or something else but it’s September now so I should just post this and write up summer’s reading list 😛
