This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

I was going to start on Ian M Banks' Culture series, but I read a few reviews that said his writing style is a bit repetitive, and then I found John Scalzi, my first impression of Old Man's War reminds me a bit of Pratchett and Douglas Adams, and I hope it continues in that fashion.

That's a very high praise. Going to get it as soon as I can now.

I finished Old Mans War it is still good!, Scalzi does a good job with the world building, and just FYI it's a bit gory from time to time.

Minor spoiler about the settingI like the multiverse approach to interstellar travel it allows for endless possibilities.

Having watched Rick and Morty helps with understanding multiverse idea (Currently its a less crazy version).

I checked with my local shop, they didn't had Old Mans War, going to order it online. Thanks for the info!
