Home Fires by Gene Wolfe

While it wasn’t quite what I’d expected, that is very much a good thing. I enjoyed it.

If you’re looking for something a little science-fiction-y and a little adventure-y you might enjoy this one, especially if you take to the writing styles of Gene Wolfe (which I tend to). I would recommend it.

 

Harry Potter (all seven)

Apparently after they made the sixth movie, somone decided to write some books! At least that’s how it seemed to me, as I read all seven within this last month. There’s a good chance you’ve read these and that’s now true of me as well!

It did take me about three books to get into the series, but in the end I enjoyed it and even now miss my friends Ron and Hermoine a little (not so much Harry, I never truly considered him a friend).

There are things I liked and things I didn’t, though that is true of all books but the truly and completely terrible. I would recommend them, though with some qualifications.

 

The Sorcerer’s House by Gene Wolfe

More fantastic than future-set, I’d recommend it for anyone looking for that set in present-day. It features the same sort of protagonist I’ve become familiar with from some of his other works.

 

 

Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk

A friend and I agreed to read each other’s recommendations, and this was one of hers. It was interesting, and I might recommend it (though with more than a few qualifications).

 

 

Lightning by Dean Koontz

Another book that she recommended; though fine, it really wasn’t my style.

 

 

 

But what to read next?
