The Humorist

in
What happens when you are born without the ability to smile and laugh? Oh yes, you become a humour critic! This must be one of the blackest examples of black humor I have ever read! It's dark, disturbing, thought-provoking and, yes, sometimes funny. The kind of book I am very happy to have read, and rather unique in its kind.

The eagerly awaited 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson

in

2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson

Is there a tendency among us humans to always think that our own time is the endpoint of history? An assumption that things are basically going to continue the way they are now, only maybe a bit more polished. Science fiction can bring back perspective, and make us see that perhaps our piece of human history is just one small part.

Me Before You

in
A lovely literary chick-lit type of read, but with an extraordinary amount of feeling and sense, and a very unusual theme (the right to your own death). Heartily recommended!
