 Currently reading The legendary Joe Meek. Fascinating portrait of Britain in the early 60's with lots of famous music names thrown in....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

 Two decent books i've read recently and would recommend if you are after a sci-fi light read are:
 
 Wool: Wool eBook: Hugh Howey: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
 
 Three Feet of Sky: Three Feet of Sky: Book One eBook: Stephen Ayres: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle StoreComment

 Most SF is for autistic dweebs. Any normal person finds most SF uni-dimensional and unsatisfying.Originally posted by zeitghostAnd Constance Briscoe thought that the book lacked character development.
 
 Duh!
 
 It's SF, you idiot. SF doesn't do character development. 
 
 Oh Dear # 2.
 
 That's because imagining alternate physical realities is easy, imaging alternate personalities is hard.Hard Brexit now!
