Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. So far it hasn't lived up to the other works of his that I have read, but I must give him credit, the gynoid/spaceship lesbian sex scene was very tastefully done.

I guess I know what my next book is going to be :rofl:

A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter and have started on Dearly Devoted Dexter. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a writing style so much. Awesome books (Y)

I got a Kindle for Christmas (a surprise, not something I asked for) and I love it. It totally got me back into reading, something I've been wanting to do but just needed a little push.

I just returned "Cool It - The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide To Global Warming" by Bjorn Lomborg and "The Gathering Storm" (The Wheel of Time Book 12) by Robert Jordan with Brandon Sanderson to my local library. I actually read all 700-odd pages of TGS within a week but since I've invested my time in another 11 books (plus the New Spring Prequel), I felt that I need to have this story finally end.

I just picked up "The Gypsy Morph: Genesis of Shannara" but I may have read this before (I'm not sure). I also picked up the "Elves of Cintra" (the previous book) and I have found out that I have definitely read that book so I'll move on to the Gypsy Morph.

The only other noteworthy book from the last few weeks/months was reading "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" which was fun but otherwise very silly. It was interesting because I knew the original source material and so I could see how the Zombies, Ninjas and the Sholin training got weaved into the original story.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
