I was working today because I had basically forgotten that it was a bank holiday. Anyway, no interruptions, so I got a lot done, AND I now have day of TOIL.

Tomorrow and Sunday will be gardening, sorting out the shed and stuff like that.

I will then probably stay under the duvet and read on Monday, unless the weather is good and I feel particularly enthusiastic, in which case there is a walk that I have been considering for most of the winter. That might be the day.

Good plans! What you going to read?

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've just started Iain M Banks' Use of Weapons, it would be that. I'm catching up with some SF this year and am alternating the Culture novels with others at the moment.

What's the best book you've read recently?

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From this strand of SF, Dennis E Taylor's Bobiverse books are by far the most compelling. It has been a while since I found something that was as unputdownable. I don't know that they are technically the 'best' in terms of literary merit or anything though. I'd say that Dan Simmons Hyperion probably wins on that front.
