Jupiter And Saturn And Carl Sagan

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is engrossing, telling the stories of the Voyager ships sending back information about Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. Sagan points out that these are unmanned ships and worries about the term manned as these projects involved women as well and the word crewed could be miscontrued if spoken.

I wondered when this was published and it was 1994, well before mobile devices became available properly to the world.

 "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig is on my shelf as the next hard copy read. 

I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.

Space Is Deep

 "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is high concept but an excellent read. It skirts the religion/science battle very well and, of course, science wins. I am over a fifth of the way through just going through the description of what aliens would see in orbit above the Earth.

Pale Blue Dot

"Luster" by Raven Leilani is not my thing, but it is an excellent read and I finished it before going on holiday. I would recommend this book to anyone and it is a remarkably easy read although explicit in some sections. I will check out more of her work, I am sure.

This week I picked up two books "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan from Barter Books and "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig which has been on my radar for too long, but my first on will be "Pale Blue Dot" and twenty pages in it has been on board with dated space achievement list and the notes on how they turned the Voyager craft at the edge of the solar system to photograph Earth which was a pale blue dot.

Apparently, an object is likely to show as more blue the further away from it that we are because blue dissipates into the atmosphere most easily.

Lustrous

"Luster" by Raven Leilani is not my thing, but it is an excellent read and in a week I am more than halfway through so I would recommend this to anyone who reads. It concerns a young black artist who takes up with an older white couple although they seldom meet together. The girl is not a hero or villain but just trying to get through life

Luster By Raven Leilani

My latest book is "Luster" by Raven Leilani. Like "The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow It is not my thing but carries recommendations from Zadie Smith and Barack Obama and it is another community library exchange and it was pitted against something by Tiger Woods. It concerns a young black artist who takes up with an old white coup, and I read forty pages in the first dip in so it is a rather excellent read so far.

Back To Barker

 

"The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow is finished and it was a good read but not my thing, so it will go back to the lending/exchange library. Macro and Cato made it out and will be in the next book whatever that may be.

"The King Of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany is also complete and it is a truly wonderful read. A brilliant fantasy.

I am not sure what will be next but I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end and when I finish it I just restart it.

Showdown In Britannia

"The Blood Crows" by Simon Scarrow, we have a showdown between Quertus and Cato to see who is the Top Dog in the fort while awaiting the next attack from Caractacus.

"The King Of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany is full of beautiful language and seems to be moving toward Lirazel being reunited with her son Orion but on Earth which upsets her father the king.
