Revelation Space (Revelation Space #1) by Alastair Reynolds. This was recommended to me by a friend back in August, and I finally got around to reading it. It tells the story, mainly, of one Dan Sylveste, an interstellar scientist bent on figuring out what happened to...
Time for some book talk! Here's a few reads I'm currently working my way through: New Reads Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. The first book in the series. This one was recommended to me by a friend as sci-fi worth reading. I'm about halfway through, and I think...
How Should a Person Be? by Sheila Heti. I don't remember exactly how this book got on my to-read list (it's not my usual jaunt into bookland), but I'm glad it did. How Should a Person Be? is part philosophy, part autobiographical confession, part fiction. It jumps...
I saw this post floating around on the blogosphere the other week (on a whole lotta book blogger sites, too many to name them all) and I thought I'd join in. Here are some books I feel like I should read, but am really struggling with or have zero interest in. Lolita...

If you're a Game of Thrones/Song of Ice & Fire fan, you're in a bit of a tough spot right now. It's the break between TV seasons, and the next book in the series is nowhere in sight. If you're waiting for the next book in particular, you likely have more than enough...
Archon (The Books of Raziel #1) by Sabrina Benulis. Archon is book one in a series about Angela Mathers, a troubled young woman who dreams of angels and is apparently unkillable (she knows, she's tried). The book starts as she's released from a mental institution and...
