John's Reading Report (March 2008)
Over the past month I have finished:
Flashman, George MacDonald Fraser. Not sure I've made up my mind whether I liked this or not. It was a fairly easy read.
The Forever War, Joe Haldeman. An interesting contrast to Heinlein's Starship Troopers or John Scalzi's Old Man's War.
In progress:
Virtual Light, William Gibson. I have neglected Gibson for the last 15 years or so. Time to catch up.
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas R. Hofstadter.
Consciousness Explained, Daniel C. Dennett.
On deck:
Suite Francaise, Irene Nemerovsky.
Soul Made Flesh: The Discovery of the Brain--and How it Changed the World, Carl Zimmer.
Spook Country, William Gibson.
I had the same reaction the first time I read Flashman. But I kept going and found that things really grew on me as I progressed through the series. I think I only really began to get really enthusiastic when I got to Flashman and the Great Game, Flashy's account of the Sepoy Mutiny.
