Just finished reading You're Never Weird on the Internet (almost), by Felicia Day.
This was a fun little memoir, which rapidly became a very surprising, revealing and thought-provoking one. It helped that I share quite a lot of Felicia's insecurities and character quirks (although I don't share about an equal amount) and so her story of how she got where she was in spite of, or often, because of them was really rather inspiring. I think I lack her tenacity and I certainly lack her perfectionism, however, so I don't think this inspiration will get me very far. Still, it seemed like an important book for a certain kind of person and I'm glad Felicia decided to share.

Yesterday I was meant to read one Chapter of Agatha Christie's book, "And then there were none." In the end I kept reading and reading till I finished. Today I decided to watch the TV adaptation of it by the BBC as I loved it so much I wanted to reread it but in a slightly quicker timescale. It is by far and easily the best book I have ever read. I don't think I have ever been that hocked to any story like that before, the twists and turns were well thought out and each time you think you've got it, you have to start guessing again. I would highly recommend it, it's a book that truly deserves to be called a classic and a great.

I love Agatha Christie. I've read two of her books (Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express) both were amazing, and both kept me awake at night thinking about the plot and about who was the real culprit behind the titular murders.

I haven't actually read any Agatha Christie, but I did watch the BBC adaptation of And Then There Were None last year and it was very well done. My wife has since read the book, but I haven't got around to it yet. I have read up on the changes made on the adaptation, though, so I have a fair idea what to expect.

Always enjoyed mystery. Can't beat the original sherlock holmes.

Just finished Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer.
It takes a lot of skill to craft a story which is simultaneously so beautiful and so horrific, so peaceful and so quietly unsettling. The way in which so much of what makes this story disturbing is hidden at the edge of sight is particularly striking and a reminder that Vandermeer is not just a writer who can craft beautiful prose, but who is able to utilise it so effectively, The effect is as profoundly imaginative and wonderful as it is disturbing. This is also the first book I have read that really deserves the term Kafkaesque in its most literal sense. There was something very reminiscent of Kafka in the nameless characters and the almost dreamlike progression of events. I look forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy, though I do not know when that might be.

I'm reading this scifi series called the lost fleet. Its about this bloke, "Black Jack" Geary, who had to stay on a spaceship that was about to be destroyed to hold off the enemy. Everyone thinks he died in battle and the alliance (his side) is desperate to make propaganda against the syndicate ("bad guys") so they make him out to be a hero. He is later found, 100 years later, to be alive and his body has been preserved. He is placed in command of a fleet which has been lost behind enemy lines when the admiral of the fleet is killed. He quickly finds that the alliance is very different to the one he grew up with, but soon most of the fleet agrees with his "unorthodox tactics". The alliance has lost all concept of honour and has begun killing any "syndic" they see, using only extremely aggressive tactics. He stuggles against his "Black Jack" persona as some of his subordiantes hate him, some worship him. Very strong sci-fi, but it's a good series. Great for sci-fi nuts, like me.

I've been tempted to read it before. Thanks for the review.
