Just finished the first part in the Humanity's Fire trilogy, Seeds of Earth by Michael Cobley. Time flies - I was completely hooked after the first 200 pages, which made the other 400 pages feel like 40. Michael Cobley has proven that there's still much to explore in space opera.

The noir binge continues.
I finished "The Lady in the Lake" by Raymond Chandler a few weeks ago.
I'm currently reading "The Cold Six Thousand" by James Ellroy. It's a departure from his usual work but pretty interesting stuff.

Finished the second part in the Humanity's Fire trilogy, The Orphaned Worlds by Michael Cobley.
Like many other trilogies, this second part feels like some sort of means of transport with which to connect the first book with the third without too much action happening. There is a bit of swing from time to time and it isn't really dull, just not as consistently exciting as the first book with the exception of the last 200 pages. There are a lot of loose threads that need be tied up and I've already started reading the third (and last) book in the trilogy. I just hope that it's more similar to the first book in terms of tension.

Finished the last part in the Humanity's Fire trilogy, The Ascendant Stars by Michael Cobley. Unfortunately there were simply too many loose threads towards the end, and I really struggled with keeping track of events - who's AI did what and who was at war with whom etc... The first book, Seeds of Earth, was definitely the best one of them. OK, back to Banks, it is...

Awhile ago I finished reading the novella Death in Venice by Thomas Mann, a work of fiction which in part helped him become a Nobel Prize laureate 1929. I wouldn't say that it's something you read to be entertained or let your thoughts go astray.
Quoted from Wikipedia:
Quote:
| The plot of the work presents a great writer suffering writer's block who visits Venice and is liberated and uplifted, then increasingly obsessed, by the sight of a stunningly beautiful youth. Though he never speaks to the boy, much less touches him, the writer finds himself drawn deep into ruinous inward passion; meanwhile Venice, and finally the writer himself, succumb to a cholera plague. The novella is powerfully intertextual, with the chief sources being first the connection of erotic love to philosophical wisdom traced in Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, and second the Nietzschean contrast between the god of restraint and shaping form, Apollo, and the god of excess and passion, Dionysus. |

Just finished Franskmenn - en bruksanvisning (Frenchmen - a user's guide) by Arne Bru. He's spent more than 15 years of his life living in France and with a touch of irony, this book discusses from a Scandinavian perspective what makes the Frenchmen French. Arne goes through topics such as large-city traffic and its non-existent set of rules, politics, food and drinks, famous actors and actresses and much more. Quite a lighthearted read but nonetheless entertaining.

Just finished Sendebudet Muhammad (The Messenger) by Kader Abdolah. Quite an interesting description of the life of Muhammad the prophet.
