Public Notes

    Ah, the Welsh counter to all the Scottishness! I've read his first one (Revelation Space) and enjoyed it, and keep meaning to have a pop at some more. But whenever I get close, I forget which is meant to be the next one in the series...

    Recommended?

    Intriguing, thankee. Sounds like Morgan might leave me rather exhausted, although I might still give him a look at some point. Nowt wrong with guilty pleasures, after all...

    That magical Scotland science fiction thing is odd, isn't it? I think Ken McLeod even lived down the road from Iain Banks at one point.

    He's an odd but fun one isn't he? I never thought he was one of my absolute favourites, but then one day I suddenly realised I'd read pretty much everything he'd written. And he'd written quite a lot. So yes, I'm now convinced he's ace. Can't quite decide whether I prefer him with or without the M. Some great things at both ends, in very different ways. I think my favourites on either side are The Bridge and Look to Windward, but there's plenty to choose from.

    There's some intriguing stuff on your favourites list - things I really want to get round to reading. What's this Richard Morgan chap like?

    He certainly is highly regarded. I have not read many books in this genre. So it takes some acclimation.

    I appreciate your comment. I must have misread. I am going to revisit the book where I left off. Thanks.
