    This week:

    I just finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about to start on All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I’m reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I’ve been through in a while!

    [Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I’ve read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series.

    Reposting last week, cause I’m not sure if that thread is messed up or not…

    I finished Abaddon’s Gate by James Corey yesterday. I still maintain the TV show is better than the books, but this is the first place I’ve seen divergence from the main story. I don’t recall seeing Samara or Pa in the TV show, but they played a pretty big part in this book. I think Camina Drummer was introduced in the TV show in place of Pa, and there was a lot of overlap of Bull’s story that they gave to Camina in the show. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Camina is one of my favorite characters, but a lot of her badassery was tacked on and is attributed to other characters in the book. Ashford though, they made him likable in the TV show, and I will never forgive book version. :|

    I finished Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells earlier this week. Quick read, It’s book 3 in the Murderbot series. All of them have been fun so far. I’m really enjoying seeing “Consultant Wren” start to connect with others.

    [Audio] I also listened to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams; read by Stephen Fry. I’ve read this book a couple of times over the years, and was interested in hearing Stephen Fry narrate it. I was not disappointed. :)

    I started, and finished, We Are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor last night. First off, “WOW!” This one was a lot of fun. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys sci-fi with a sense of humor. Lots of nerdy fandom references and jokes for those of us who grew up on sci-fi TV/Movies and live in a constant state of regurgitating pop culture references.
