Don't you just hate it when that happens? This moring, on the bus, I finally finished reading Blish's Cities in Flight (Baxter's right, don't read book one, it's pointless - book 4's a bit poo as well), so I started reading Ken Macleod's Newton's Wake. I'm on about page 70 by the time I got home this evening.

What is greeting me when I get through the door? My Amazon delivery. Now, given I'm under instructions to read The Modern World as soon as possible, but I'm really enjoying Newton's Wake and it's due back at the library, what should I do?

The former because I'm winding [livejournal.com profile] faeriecween up. The latter because I'm curious. I'm half tempted to read them all and then review them side by side, but we all know that's never going to happen, so I might just write reviews up as I go.

Do what you like (and I'd say to probably finish the one you've started as I'm currently surrounded by half read books-all of which I'm enjoying but, for some reason, keep putting down and then starting others) but I assure you - It's Good!

And the twist?! Holy Fuck!? Though, to be fair you figure it out before it happens. even so it STILL feels like a slap in the face.

However Ash has read it now so i have someone to blurble with.
