Happy Groundhog Day!
 
Kind of a slow reading month, especially compared to past Januaries.
 
Books are rated using a very primitive rating system:
“+” are good, and more “+” are better
“-” are not good, and more “-”  are worse
 
I’m happy to answer questions about anything here.
 
Highlights - House of Suns - Reynolds
 
Lowlights - nothing “low” enough to put here

Holy cow, this was excellent. Perhaps my favorite Reynolds?

There was a short set in the universe in the recent anthology, New
Adventures in Space Opera (Jonathan Strahan ed). It doesn't have the
sort of scope as this novel, but the book is well worth getting if you
enjy that sort of tale.
