Trying to read again.

Finally found a good book to read after over 2 years, and the bloody Kindle version goes from Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 FFS.

Cyberpunk Noir? I'll give it a shot.

Goodreads has started marking books as read when I press the Home button to change the current book I'm reading. Most annoying. Had to disable WiFi.

Have 9 books currently "on hold". That's a lot of false starts recently.

On hold for now. Not grabbing me at the moment.

Putting this one to the side for now.

I had to...
One of my favourites subjects and widely praised. *fingers crossed*

I don't like any of the books I've tried reading lately...

When you can't decide between SciFi and Hardbolied noir...

Is it too early to give a story 5 stars when you're only half way though?

Cover is gonna give @DrDalim tingles.

Well, being sick has one advantage..stayed up to 6:30am and read most of this last night. LoL.

Finding it really hard to get into this. 30% in and like Star Wars Phantom Menace, it's a bunch of people standing around talking about trade and politics.
The story might be more interesting if just told from Holden's perspective.
To be honest, I'd rather be reading something else.

Took Kindle apart, removed battery - seems to have fixed the problem again - for now.

Sine my kindle died ,I just keep re-reading old stuff.

Another re-read. Reading the Maestro for the first time since his passing...

Re-reading!

Got my next 3 novels all lined up already. Happy Days!

A lot less "easy reading" that his Robot stories.

Hardboiled noir in a fantasy setting?

Getting pretty violent now.

@DrDalim Best blend of SciFi & sardonic hardboiled noir I've read so far. Very understated style is why it works

Could be one of the best books I've read. Hope the second half holds up.

Conceptually interesting, stylistically striking.

Pretty long book!

What next? Alistair Reynolds 'The Prefect' or Douglas Nicholas 'Something Red'?
