Brian is 33% done with The Scar (New Crobuzon, #2)

The gloom has lifted somewhat, but the technicolor backdrop is still paper thin

Brian is 16% done with The Scar (New Crobuzon, #2)

Last one of these for a long time. It's just so endlessly grey and depressing. Even his sunshine is described as an assault on the eyes.

A Fire Upon the Deep (Zones of Thought, #1)

Brian is on page 454 of 569 of Kiln People

The spiralling action and multiple threads reminds me of his previous "Earth"

Brian is on page 220 of 569 of Kiln People

Hmm. Wandered into a very cliched detective story with a conspiracy theory thrown on top. So far not a turn for the better.

Brian is on page 183 of 416 of Ysabel

Simpler than I expected, but deeply engrossing. I'm typing this at midnight, need I say more?

Brian is on page 73 of 174 of To Die in Italbar

Odd, but typical Zelazny odd... Interesting

Brian is on page 173 of 425 of The Long Earth

Interesting so far, although the iron thing is a bit contrived

Brian is on page 100 of 455 of Lord Jim

Alternating between delightfully descriptive and frustratingly florid. Want to grab the authour and yell "get on with it!" but it's just such a perfect after dinner drinks and cigars tale that gets better with each retelling...

Brian is on page 184 of 568 of Revelation Space (Revelation Space, #1)

Cuts back and forth between characters and story lines too often.

Brian is on page 61 of 251 of Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot, #10)

Fun change of pace, and it's sucking me right in...

Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot, #10)

Brian is on page 43 of 710 of Perdido Street Station (New Crobuzon, #1)

Not what I was expecting. Dense, I feel like I've got to really pay attention, the depth of detail is remarkable...

Perdido Street Station (New Crobuzon, #1)

Brian is on page 191 of 572 of Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse, #1)

Unexpectedly awesome so far. Dunno where it's going, but I'm enjoying the ride.

Brian is on page 240 of 370 of Conspirator (Foreigner, #10)

Like lying down on your own comfy couch, I'm back wandering through atevi court politics. I think she's run out of new things, but the old stuff is still holding my interest just fine...

Certainly got me hooked - sucked right into this one so far

Fascinating backdrop - wish he'd flesh out the history more. Had high hopes, so far so good!

Brian is on page 164 of 453 of Catch-22

Funny, and occasionally quotable but seems repetitive...

Brian is on page 502 of 716 of Under Heaven (Under Heaven, #1)

You know all those reviews that use words like engrossing and captivating? This book actually deserves them.

Brian is on page 262 of 360 of With A Little Help

Damn you @doctorow for 'Human Readable' - I was expecting a happy ending right up to the end. Guess I identified with the male character so much it was as big a surprise to me as it was to him...
