[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7576546, member: 20564"] Just got back from a business trip for a workshop in beautiful Lisbon, Portugal. I'm in northern US and appreciated the difference from shoveling snow. Now, not as much reading as I thought - it was long days in the workshop and then nights with colleagues I work with but rarely am on the same continent with. But still got some reading in. Read "All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells, a short story in an ongoing series of them. Don't know if this was the first or what, but it was enjoyable. Read [I]Diaspora[/I] by Greg Egan, which felt like a travelogue of nifty (often mathematical/physic) ideas with a framing story around them. It was quite interesting enough but not satisfying in the ways a more traditional novel would for me. I also got about half way through [I]Ninefox Gambit[/I] by Yoon Ha Lee. This has been sitting on my TBR pile for a while. I had picked it up once and read a few pages and there was too much unexplained new concepts that it wasn't the light & fluffy reading I was looking for at the time. This time thoguh when I had more attention to give it I got further and things fell into place, including why they needed to hit the concepts in so fast at the beginning. Quite enjoying it so far, will see where it goes. Still have [I]Deep State[/I] halfway done - didn't want to lug an already half-read trade paperback on my trip. [/QUOTE]
