Recommended: Slade House by David Mitchell

A new recommended read: Slade House by David Mitchell. Every nine years on the last Saturday in October, a mysterious iron door appears in the wall of Slade Alley. If you open it--and you should hope you don't--you'll find yourself in an impossible garden looking at the back of Slade House, at a place where it absolutely … Continue reading Recommended: Slade House by David Mitchell

Favorite Reads of 2014

I was going to do a whole "year in reading" post, but I got sucked into other things and now I find the year has already turned over. Happy new year! Here are my favorite reads of last year. Many are relatively new, some are classics, all are worth your time. The Sundial by Shirley … Continue reading Favorite Reads of 2014

Recommended Reading: The Bone Clocks

Today I am recommending The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. Mitchell's latest novel is a genre-bending epic spanning sixty years, about the people whose fates are altered by an ongoing war between immortals. This one is going to make a lot of "Best of 2014" lists. The book grew on me a lot after I was done reading it. I … Continue reading Recommended Reading: The Bone Clocks

Cli-Fi: Fiction about climate change

I have just discovered a new genre: cli-fi, or climate change fiction. Set in the present or near future, these novels imagine a changed world once the effects of climate change are really beginning to be felt. It's not such a new genre to me, after all. I read David Brin's Earth and Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs … Continue reading Cli-Fi: Fiction about climate change
