| Battleground
by Jim Butcher. It had some of the feel of a comic book mashup
ala Avengers or Justice League of America, and some of the weaknesses
inherent in that. I did like it overall, although my enthusiasm
was dampened when I set it on a burner I thought I had shut off, and
burned the back cover of the new library book. Given the magical
theme, it might have been better if it had left 666 or a pentagram on
the back cover instead of a burner spiral... Bob's Saucer Repair by Jerry Boyd. Although this book delivers what you'd expect from a B movie title like Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, and has shallow characters, silly puns and obscure pop references, it was fun. But then I like B Sci Fi Movies. (This is a free Kindle read on Amazon Prime) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. A classic from the 1930's. No I didn't guess whodunit, even though I probably read it 30 years ago. A Choice of Gods by Clifford Simak. Rereading this book reminds me why Simak was one of my favorite SciFi authors. Nature. theology, robots, teleportation, and aliens... The Corridors of Time by Poul Anderson. A clever and sympathetic look at time traveling for good instead of evil. |
