Location: Great Lakes, USA		I have read or started all the books on my TBR list this month. Very unusual for me.

Green City Wars - Adrian Tchaikovsky. Ok. I had a hard time getting into this one. But, it I did like it.

The Faith of Beasts - James SA Corey. Excellent second book. Very much looking forward to the third.

The Odyssey - Homer. Translated by Emily Wilson. I think this is an easier read than the version I first read. It is written in current day American English. The version I read before was written in old formal British English.

I am reading Dandelion Wine for a Halloween Group Read, and won't finish it until next month. This is a reread for me. I am always reminded when I reread Bradbury of how much I like his writing.

Also read Genesis - Poul Anderson. Good.
Reread Excession - Iain M. Banks. Excellent.
I have started To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and had to wait to get it back from the library. I should finish it next month.

Location: UK		Oh dear,barely read a thing in September. I had a pernicious anaemia flare up during the heat wave when I had to visit my husband in hospital at 100 degrees temperature when my red cells were pretty much empty,so I stressed my muscle cells so badly that I am in pain six weeks later. Also had serious blurred vision,another delightful symptom of PA,so very little reading.All I managed to read was Starship Troopers,Isaac Asimov's The Naked Sun,and terrified myself with a reread ofthe ultimate warning against dangerous AI with Harlan Ellison's devastating and bleak. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
The ultimate in depressing reads.All those Tech Bros should be tied down and made to read this cautionary tle
