  1. In Topic: Reading at t'moment?

    Having eagerly awaited the third book in Davinia Williams' Burnished City series, Rebel Blade, I had to cancel my pre-order on Kobo and buy it at google, because the book came out on the 3rd and as of now is still unavailable on Kobo.

    In any case:


    This series is really fun, one of the most purely entertaining fantasy series of the moment. Anyone who likes magic, mayhem, and rooftop derring-do should read it. The third book starts right up to form.

    Wait, really? That makes it even more interesting tbqh because the Engineer isn't a villain, although you can certainly see how an Authority member would clash with Supes. Presumably there'll be a rivalry and then that'll feed in to the Authority movie.



    Anyway, looks like exactly the Superman I want. My one worry is that there might be too much going on, but Gunn has obviously handled big casts before so...

    Moot point since JPK has read it, but double stamp, motherfuckers.





    It is not in any way a similar book- different setting, different themes, different structure- so I don't know why I think this, but I always felt Lonesome Dove goes hard in similar ways to Shogun. Although I see JPK has read that too so I guess that rec is just for the others.

    I'm definitely open to "modern" classics as well.



    Being ten years old it's probably too new to go on the list but one book I'll always trumpet that should go down as a Classic and has the makings of one, imo, is A Brief History of Seven Killings, by Marlon James. The feel is probably helped by it being set mostly in the 70s and 80s. But also by it being both wildly good and somewhat tricksy in its writing in the way a lot of the 'modern' classics are.



    I should recommend some Polish classics but sadly I've read pretty much none of them. Still, Sienkewicz's Trilogy* or Quo Vadis, Reymont's The Peasants and Lem's Solaris are worth considering I'd say. I'd add Pan Tadeusz by Mickiewicz, being as it's pretty much the foundational work of Polish literature, but given that it's an epic poem, finding the right translation would be even more critical than normal.


    *the fact that 'Trilogia' (the trilogy) is just what it's called and I'm fairly sure that anyone in Poland will immediately know what you mean if you just say that tells you how important that one is to Polish culture.

    I'm inclined to believe a combination of QT's theory and this one I saw about them being nuclear detection drones doing sweeps. Would explain the secrecy because 'weird drones' is gonna cause less panic than that would.


    But it's also worth remembering that there's something of a minor mass panic going on and a whole lot of the sightings are helicopters, planes and the goodyear blimp:
