Hello fellow Kbiners what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it?

    I recently finished The Stand by King. The long, re-release. 1100+ pages.

    It is an interesting post-pandemic dystopia. I got it off someone’s “best sci-fi” list. I would say it was good but not great. I would not put it in my top 10 sci-fi.

    I got it from the library after being on a waiting list. I am glad I pushed myself to read it/finish it because I have not finished a book in way too long. Great mental exercise but not the best book.

    Currently on the last book in the 3 part broken earth series by N.K. Jemisin. The Stone Sky. The first book threw me through a loop. Second one is setting up the third one.

    I finished Barrayar by Louis Mcmaster Bujold and had a really great time from start to finish. Gripping, funny, and just plain thought provoking, I can see why it won a Hugo award and Locus award.

    Just finished the Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. As a fan of the original trilogy, I really enjoyed all the worldbuilding and learning more about Panem.

    Last one I finished was Look to Windward by Iain Banks.

    Yes, I enjoyed it. I read it every 18 months or so. It is my favourite Banks novel.

      Wow, I’m also reading Banks and Chambers right now. I just finished Record of a Spaceborn Few and The State of the Art.
