1. `O' Pioneers` by Willa Cather
2. `The Dazzle of the Day` by Molly Gloss
3. `Mort` by Terry Pratchet
They are all very enjoyable in their ways. I am furthest
into The Dazzle of the Day. It started out sooo good. The
whole of "Part 1" (the book is divided into two parts) is
really great. Part 2 kind of goes its own way and shifts
things. I'm not sure I care for it as much. If you are
interested in quakers, consensus decision-making, enviro
stuff, generation ships, etc. you might like it, so long
as you are fine with it mostly being internal (about the
characters' thoughts and feelings) more than external
(about events and action(s)).
My favorite is likely "O' Pioneers". It is just a really
great read so far. It is my first time reading anything
by Willa Cather, and I'm so glad I decided to try it out.
"Mort" is moving along. I think it is the least engaging
of the four Terry Pratchet books I have read so far, but
it is still nice.
I'm mostly writing this to be present for monthly muster
here in Circumlunar Space, but I figure maybe someone is
looking for a good book to read (I leave it as an
exercize for the reader to see what all of them are all
about).
