Changing Planes — Ursula K. Le Guin
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.

Ready Player One — Ernest Cline
I wasn’t impressed by the film at all. The book’s far far better.
I’ll get around to writing a review when i re-read it some day in the future. Suffice it to say, for now, that this is a very good book and well worth reading if you haven’t already.

Star Nomad — Lindsay Buroker
I decided i’d have to read all of this series because Joseph R. Lallo wrote a Fallen Empire novel, Rogue Derelict, and if the series is good enough for Joseph to write a novel for, then it’s definitely good enough for me to give it a good reading.
And so i’ve started collecting the series as they come up cheap.

Salvage Trouble — J.S. Morin
Brave New World — Aldous Huxley
Rogue Derelict — Joseph R. Lallo
This book is an odd one out as it belongs in Lindsay Buroker’s “Fallen Empire” universe and was written by Joseph for some Amazon thing. Being a fan boy, and it being on sale, i threw it into “The Waiting Room” to let some digital dust mites run all over it while i get around to collecting the rest of the Fallen Empire books.
