huppumies: Sinuhe egyptiläinen by Mika Waltari. It's been 20 years since my uncle gave me this book and since I first read it. It'll be interesting to see how it feels to read it with more mature (I hope) eyes.
Sinuhe has been my favorite read this year so far. I hope you enjoy it as well the second time around!

Got meself a gift card and bought the revelation space collection (e-book(s)) from Alastair Reynolds. Some British Astrologer or NASA dude who also has a Dutch connection.

One of the better reads I had in the past years. All those e novels (created for the e market) I've been reading really distorted my sense of length and cohesion. Now, this is a SCi Fi novel! Not that all those other e reads are bad or non-coherent but, these books are so much more!

According to the E reader I have 16 hours of reading time left but, as you might expect, this is certainly a most recommended one.

Story wise there is a slow approach but similar to a detective novel or maybe a one of those multipage science calculations paths become more and more connected up to the point you yourself become a conspiring conspiracy thinker about what and why will come and/to happen.

Well I own the book "Revelation Space" from Reynolds (German edition, where it is titled "Unendlichkeit" which translates as "Infinety"). Surely one of his better books. I read a few other books from him and was not too fond of them. But his books have one advantage: they are big and long, so I need a few hours to read them. :-D

The Outsider by Stephen King.

I'm about to finish Vortice, a novel from 1899 by Alfredo Oriani, a not -so-well-known writer, even in Italy. Generally regarded as his masterpiece, it recounts the thoughts and actions of a would-be suicide. Pretty depressing stuff, as you might guess. The main reason I chose to read it is that I lived for many years on a street named after that writer.

Dragons of the Hourglass Mage by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I fell in love with this series since first reading the Chronicles trilogy.*Spoilers Follow* This installment is good, but some of the scenes where Raistlin is pretending to be a devout worshipper of Takhisis made me cringe because I think he overdoes it, and because I don't like the spectacle of the powerful wizard fawning odiously, even if it is to save his neck.

Reading El árbol de la ciencia (The Tree of Knowledge) by Pío Baroja. It was published in 1911 but it's amazing how many things remain relevant today.
