Overall, I am liking how Reynolds describes the "physics", I can easily relate to the terms he uses which is no bad thing

Matter is excellent, one of my favourites!Exar Kun wrote: Found Matter at the second hand book store yesterday nice and cheap so chucked that in the "to read" pile too.
Good to know that you're enjoying Mr Banks' work... Use of Weapons is really good, you'll enjoy that too. I'm not as keen on Matter as pix... but it is more about how Contact work with pre Cultureised civilisations.Exar Kun wrote:Thought I'd dig this up now that I've gotten back to the Culture novels. Just finished The Player of Games which was excellent and am starting on Use of Weapons now.

Aaahh... I found out about the Greenfly last night. Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days is up next and then I guess it's on to Blue Remembered Earth.Exar Kun wrote:Revelation space is pretty epic. There's a short story that kind of wraps things up with the green fly or whatever it was called. I've still got to grab Blue Remembered Earth off a mate to start on that one.
I've recently got into reading some of his general fiction. I believe that the last of his work is being brought forward for publication and is a general fiction novel called The Quarry. I did Stonemouth a while back and that's an entertaining piece of work, but I just finished his first published novel, The Wasp Factory, and that is an amazing little story. Very dark and unsettling and with an ending that I didn't see coming.Exar Kun wrote:I'm not a fan of general fiction but I can certainly see myself working through all of his sci-fi catalogue.
