Yes, IMO the last good book he wrote. After that his books became unbelievably dull. Hyperion Cantos and Ilium/Olympos are superb.
Currently reading Abbadon's Gate, book three in the Expanse series. I like them a lot.
Also recently finished the R Scott Bakker books - Prince of Nothing series and the follow on Aspect Emperor series. All 7 books are brilliant, if you like that sort of genre.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I might tap you up for some advice, I'm trying to sort out my dad's estate at the moment...
Fucking hell, I've just seen how much that book costs!
You should try my bible, the 'White Book', Civil Court Practice. They chunk out a new edition annually
In truth, they're like a wrapper for the asset(s) within, governing how and when it is to be applied. But a minefield for the unwary...
Back in the spirit of the thread, got two lovely vade mecums on the topic right here: Lewin on Trusts, and Snell's Equity.
I read Sapiens (twice) found it very insightful. Had decided not to bother with Deus as I'm a techie and get it with AI, nano tech etc but at about 1/2 way through I'm glad I picked it up. A lot is about how Sapiens treats animals, which gets justified, very possibly falsely, on the premise they have no consciousness. I'm already on this page somewhat so it's fascinating.
If I haven't mentioned it before Anti Social by Nick Pettigrew which is not dissimilar in it's way but ASBOs and a worker driven to despair.
Film in the works as well. The sequel to the book comes out in September. I hardly read and even less so fiction but it does seem to be a much loved book so I might give it a go at some point.
It’s a very easy read with a knowing chuckle every now and then. Quite gentle ….. Agatha Christie rather than the stabby murderporn or stereotypical policeman with a history and drink habit that seems to dominate at the moment.
A strange epidemic forces victims to walk across a torn America to an unknown destination. It leverages the delusional fears and hysteria of a large section of the US population to alarming effect. It's a cracking read.
Next up is The Thursday Murder Club.
Drood by Dan Simmons.
All my reading used to be on my daily commute so I've hardly read anything for over a year. Now I'm going in once a week so I'm getting though a couple of chapters.
