stoyUpdate on the puzzle I posted about earlier.
Trippy!
And what Audiobook currently?
“Timeline” by Michael Crichton
l read the book decades ago as it came out and still have some vivid images in my head of the described middle ages environment.
Given that I usually forget the detailed contents of books I read after some weeks already, it means it must have been pretty good! :-)
It has been really good, yeah.
I bought it and Airframe by the same author, and I had to drop Airframe as I found the general premise of the book too incorrect.
To avoid spoilers I won’t go into detail of the specific issues I had with it.
Before that I listened through Neuromancer and Dune.
Never read Dune, but Neuromancer was one of the first SF-books ever that I got to read, back in the late 80s.
Needless to say that it adequately blew my mind…

Dune is a weird story mixing sci-fi, fantasy and religion, it isn’t my favorite sci-fi work, but it is a great work.
Neuromancer, the environment is fantastic, brilliant, but never got into the story.
As you seem not to be frightened by large books and also seem to like books with historic setting before scientific background, I would strongly recommend you the “Baroque” cycle by Neal Stephenson.
Not sure if there is a good audiobook version of it though…
