I'll be updating this blog when I've read a new book or an article in the news that I'd like to keep a track of. This is my way of keeping a running record of what I've read and what I thought of it.

Non Stop - Brian Aldiss


Another sci fi classic and another good read.  The story is based on a long forgotten space ship, although that isn't immediately apparent when the story begins in a medieval style village.  This is a tricky book to write about without ruining the story for others (not that I need be concerned about my sizable readership being disappointed in this manner of course).

The story unfolds gradually revealing more and more about the world in which the protagonists find themselves and the book maintains an appropriate sense of claustrophobia and the pace quickens as the story progresses.

Not my favourite book, but I enjoyed the read.
