    Just finished:

    All You Need is Kill - Of the 2 movies and this, this has by far the most compelling ending. I don’t really like how the time loop thing is handled but the mechanics aren’t the most important to the story

    Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash - I love this series. If you’re looking for a modern day Douglas Adams this is pretty close

    In progress:

    Diaspora by Greg Eden - Woof, this starts dense and I don’t have the impression it’s going to get easier. I’m curious how challenging it will get. Still, it’s a fun start for the story

      With reference to Will Destroy The Galaxy For Cash, all of Yahtzee Croshaw’s books are excellent.

      Have you read any of his non Jacques McKeown books? Jam is particularly weird, you’d love it.

      Incidentally, I literally just finished the last Jacques McKeown book, Will Leave The Galaxy For Good, yesterday.

      It’s a very nice end to the trilogy and based on the subject matter, very prescient for these days.

        I have, I like Mogworld so I’ll have to add Jam to the list

        I was excited for good was finally available as an ebook because I don’t really like audio books but it looks like I’ll have to borrow a friend’s kindle to read it because I can’t figure out how to load it onto my kobo

        It’s good to know he keeps the quality up!
