@Wayne_Murillo The #Radch trilogy is one if my favorite SciFi book series! Fun fact: There us a hint to #SacredHarp singing hidden in the story, and I know a couple of #shapenote singers who found out about if this way.
I also highly recommend #AnnLeckie’s #TheRavenTower. Different pace, different setting, but similar poetic approach, and the #gender topic also plays a role. Amazing book, it also reminded me a lot of #KazuoIshiguro’s #TheBuriedGiant.

The Nobel Prize-winning Kazuo Ishiguro's 'The Buried Giant' is getting the 'Pinocchio' treatment.

#KazuoIshiguro wins the #NobelPrize in #Literature. This is the first time that I've read an author before he won the award. #TheRemainsOfTheDay is tied for my favorite novel (the other one is #JohnLeCarre's #aPerfectSpy). #NeverLetMeGo is pretty good, too, but kind of made me feel like I'd been kicked in the gut. #WhenWeWereOrphans was forgettable, though. I'll have to try #TheBuriedGiant.
