I apologise Chris, I wanted to avoid disturbing you so I googled google AI: "Grace at New College" most likely refers to Grace Keenan, a former student leader at New College of Florida, or it could refer to the Grace period for student loans for graduates of the University of New Haven.

Abercrombie & Pacey are probably my favorite audiobook duo. Gerard Doyle also fits wonderfully with Mich Herron and Adrian McKinty

I don't mind it. The characters are caricatures and I agree on your point tower Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson are worth the ticket of admission by themselves, and the baddies are scrumptiosly bad

Interrupted my romp through the Bobiverse to read a charming and heartwarming novella Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz. Like Tchaikovsky' Service Model it takes robots to highlight our missing humanity. Charming

They promised us Taco Vans on every corner and I'm still waiting...

My first Mieville was The City & The City and I actually was more impressed with that than Perdido. So I hope you will like it, In all cases an extraordinary writer

It was also my first AT book, and, having liked it, I picked up Children of Time ( I adored) and then Cities of Last Chances where I had to double check to see if it was the same author. Very different voice but also so good. Service Model is a third voice. I hope you have found a new loved author

I finished Katabasis (surprising a bit meh after her brilliant last two) and currently loving A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennet (this will be such a great series!), And my library turn for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter has just come up....

once a week I look after pinnipeds: Seals, sea lions primarily. Been doing it for many years and it never gets old

I know you did a lot of reporting on the Slow Streets during Covid. I hope there are other examples that have lasted the test of time but Sanchez has definitely done so and is such a great place

Think I just saw you on the new Time Team at Norton Disney?

I am about half way though. Enjoying it but as not as enthralled as I remember being with babel.

I just picked it up on @libro.fm . I sounds like the kind of book that someone who loves Christopher Buehlman would like

I probably wanted to love Perdidido StreeT station more than i did but too many times i found myself lost in the narrative and although the writing is sumptuous I had trouble keeping my barings. That is a reflection on me, not the book.

Some of the finest writing on the ugliness of battles regardless of genre that I have ever read.

I usually forget books quickly but the backdrop imagery of that would still lingers with me. Tried Perdido St. Station after it and it did not have the same effect

Just finished a cracking Historical Fiction book - The Pretender by Jo Harkin. A definite recommend to all those who could not quite find something else after Wolf Hall to scratch that itch.

West Cost US waking up…. Just finished devastatingly good Demon Copperhead, now jumping back in time with a book recommended here. The Pretender by Jo Harking

i learnt it from french - stalactites "tombe" and stalagmite "montre"

LOL I just purchased that a few hours ago in audible’s 2 for 1 sale. Sounded so interesting

I’ve had Demon Copperhead on my TBR for some time. Decided to read that but, in order to give it justice, i have read David Copperfield for the first time. What a joyous novel. Is that why they call them “the Classics”???
