@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books Cotton Crossing. A zombie apocalypse novel by @lilithsaintcrow which I am enjoying quite a bit, and would recommend. I am enjoying the standard tropes but told by a women author. It's nice to see the macho ex military hero being a decent person rather than a testosterone fueled gun shooting bro.
@kimlockhartga@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books good to know. There There was really absorbing. I felt as if I got to know a whole world that I had never heard of before. Indigenous Oakland. People in the book seemed very real.
@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books I just finished Cahokia Jazz by Francis Spufford. It’s a noir detective thriller in a 1920s America where Native American civilisation thrived right up to the present day, coexisting with all those folk of European and African origin. It was bewitching, wonderful, but I hate the ending with a passion: I’ll never read Spufford again.
@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books Reading The Belgariad by David Eddings... this is my 2nd reading but the last time was close to a decade ago. It's much better than I remember!
@wendypalmer@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books Nick Harkaway is such a talent. It is because of Bookstodon readers that I even know of his work. GNOMON is one of the best books I've ever read.
Gogmagog by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard. About 90% done and although I don't think it is for everyone, if you like Noon's work in general I would absolutely recommend it.
@NickEast@reading@bookstodon@bookbubble@books currently re-reading Swords Against Death by Fritz Leiber for our book club. Excellent swords and sorcery fun that has stood the test of time, and was a direct inspiration for a lot of D&D tropes.
