The Birthday Of The World and Other Stories — Ursula K. Le Guin
A most wonderful collection of short stories from the greatest Sci Fi writer of all time, Ursula K. Le Guin.
I think “Paradises Lost” is not only my favourite in this collection but also one of my favourite stories by Ursula ever. If there’s any story that i would have liked her to expand upon it would be this one. But maybe it will now inspire another great writer sometime in the future to expand upon it: please let me know if you are that writer.
All in all, a great collection, especially for fans of Ursula’s Hainish Cycle, with the majority of the stories being from that.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest — Stieg Larsson
Super awesome.The Girl in the Spider’s Web — David Lagercrantz
David took over writing the Millenium Series after Stieg died and i have to admit that he does a very good job of it with this book. I haven’t got around to the other two yet. I’ll re-read the whole series when they turn up.
My only complaint with David’s writing is that he uses a few words, very occasionally, that Steig never used — which some people may not notice, but i certainly felt it shoving me out of the story a little when he did. Bad editing!!!
Super awesome.
