The (Amazing) Martian


Last night finished The Martian.
Damn that was a good book!
Took me 10 days to read the book, like the saying goes, you can't put it away.
Guess that ever since I've read Cloud Atlas, this the best SciFi book that I got my hands on.
Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Another Bacigalupi


Finished The Windup Girl on Monday, and jumped right onto another one by Bacigalupi: "Pump Six" which is actually a collection of short stories.
Along with Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, The Wind Up Girl is the bes Sci-Fi I've read this year.

Another Mitchell on the way?



Today I've finished Black Swan Green, I've loved it
I'm really, really tempted to jump right onto the last Mitchell book I have "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet".

Cloudy Atlas


Last night got to see the Cloud Atlas movie, don't know how, but the local DVD rental store has a totally legit copy already.
It sucks all across the 600 years, the six stories and the 3 hours it runs.

More Mitchell, more reading...


Finished "Cloud Atlas" a couple of days ago, and after re-reading it a bit, jumped right onto another of Mitchell's books, Black Swan Green.
This one doesn't seem to have a chapter written in post apocalyptic hawaiian lingo.
I freaking love the Kindle, I'm reading a lot, but I mean a lot lot more, since I got it last December.

Soylent Green is Soap!


Currently reading it, about 80% done.
I simply love it.
The mixed genre is amazing, I particularly love Gibson's influences on the chapter "An Orison of Sonmi~451", and the Hawaii post-ap setting for "Sloosha's Crossin' an' Ev'rythin' After" (although that has been the most difficult thing I've read in English so far).
I want to see how it delivers on the cinema.
