Still Lost In The Labyrinth

 I am two thirds of the way through "The Magic Labyrinth" in the "Riverworld" series and still enjoying it although Riverworld is just becoming a setting for everyday issues in that setting, but I do love the juxtaposition of all the characters from history being set up for a battle between boats on the river. You do learn a lot about historical figures from Farmer's writing.

I also found out that my Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here although now I am saying this it seems to have disappeared, c'est la vie.

Into The Magic Labyrinth

"The Wind Whales of Ishmael" turned out to be a 130-page interlude into a non-Armageddon end of the world scenario and though only 130 pages long because it was a single unbroken piece it seemed much longer, but still an enjoyable unusual sci-fi follow up to Melville's "Moby Dick" 

"The Magic Labyrinth" continues the "Riverworld" series and all the characters are there in this five hundred page first finale to the series (which like many such series just kept spawning more books, so there will be more after this no doubt.

A Break From Riverworld but There Are Wind Whales

I have finished "The Dark Design"  the third book in the "Riverworld series but before setting out into "The Magic Labyrinth," I thought I would take a detour with another Farmer novel "The Wind Whales of Ishmael".

It is only 130 pages long but has no chapters, just a single piece of text that runs over those pages. Chapters enable you to take a break, and while 130 pages could be read in one sitting I am a slow reader.

The story is a futuristic science fiction sequel to "Moby Dick"

More Dark Designs With George Ezra and Ian McKellen

In my last post, I tried a redirect and it seems to do it automatically even when the page is not selected. This is to see if this normal post will stop the auto-redirect on the blog when the last post was at the top. Hope that makes sense.

I am still on "The Dark Design" by Philip Jose Farmer but only have twenty pages to go, This has been the most difficult book in the series because of the length and the expanse of characters and planetary development.

Music is the excellent George Ezra video with Ian McKellen for "Listen To The Man"

The Design Is Still Dark

I am still on "The Dark Design" is Book III in the Riverworld Series by Philip Jose Farmer,, it is 450 pages and I have just passed three hundred but as you know I am a very slow reader. There are airships , reiverboats and a lot more to keep you spellbound and occupied.

So musically because Mark Twain is involved going to choose "Tom Sawyer" by Rush.

Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year in the UK and my phone is showing 24 degrees Centigrade which I think is 80 degrees Fahrenheit if my calculations are correct, but this is not Texas.

I am using my Amazon Kindle to play Backgammon when  I want to waste some time and after enjoying Wordle my friends Dharrsheena recommended I tried Weaver which I also find entertaining, from a concept by Lewis Carrol and you can play it here.
