Seeing as my entire TBR pile seemed mostly bland an unappetising after "Orbus", I decided to delve into my book hoard from the last 37 years. I did have a purge of a few thousand about 16 years back but it was mainly dross, apart from inexplicably allowing some of my most treasured books to go as well.
Anyway, I've never sold a book since, nor given or thrown away, they are going to form my funeral pyre.
Inspired by a "Do you know the name of" thread on sffworld, I grabbed "Nightworld" by F. Paul Wilson. First read more than a decade ago. Loved it, cracking if barmy stuff.
Followed that up with "The Moat Around Murcheson's Eye" by Niven & Pournelle. I was going to read "The Mote in God's Eye" but my copy is a little fragile. So I read the sequel, it has it's flaws and I know I struggled the first time round, but I really enjoyed it. I'm going to fit a bit more Niven and or Pournelle into my TBR pile in future, I've got plenty.
