I finished The Color of Magic. It was light and fun, but I'm divided on reading other Discworld books. The series is supposed to get better, but how good does it get? At some point I think I'll read Mort, as it always comes up in lists of the better Discworld books, but I'm just not sure.
I also finished The Invisible Man. Wells' work is impressive in the sense as he thought a lot about the details of invisibility when no one before him (as far as I know) did. Like how eaten food wouldn't become automatically invisible in the Invisible Man's stomach. How smoke in the lungs from a cigare would be apparent. Or how footsteps in the mud could be followed.
The character and the story aren't paticularly enjoyable. Griffin, the Invisible Man, isn't likable. He is selfish and paranoid. Today an author could only cast him as a superhero. Here he is a villain. The novella originally came out as a novella, so it feels like Wells wrote the story as it was published, and sometimes you have sense he changed his idea about the plot. Still, it is an influencial classic and I'm glad I read it.
I started Ender's Game. I'm 36 pages in. It is a modern classic that gets a lot of good, enthusiastic reviews, so I've been wanting to read it for a while. For a book written in 1985, it sure has a retrograde take on women. It looks like a it is all about wondering if the end justifys the means. The bullying of the protagonist is already getting on my nerves. It is just a trope we see too often on TV, in films and mangas.
