#booksof2026 #2 the brilliant (and funny, and sad) Catch-22

#booksof2026 #1 Seamus O’Rourke’s funny memoir. Knowing the places (and some of the people) added to it

#ThreeBodyProblem. Not read proper SciFi in a while. Really enjoyed this. Combined Chinese history with an existential crisis in a fun way with some great ideas. More subtle than the TV series. #Booksof2026. NO.13

#BooksOf2026 Book number 82

Cold Sunset by William Boyd. The latest adventures of Gabriel Dax. A brilliant, twisty read that kept me hooked to the last page.

#Booksof2026 63 - Dark Market by Misha Glenny

21st The title of Will Storr’s “The Science of Storytelling” sparked my curiosity. While i didn’t feel it fulfilled the expectations raised by the blurbists, it will likely be of great value to aspiring novelists (among whom I do not count myself). #BooksOf2026

#Booksof2026 62 - In The Footsteps of Mr Kurtz by @michelawrong.bsky.social

Snapshot tales of the last days of President Mobutu's rule of Zaire (now DR Congo). It's interesting to compare the late 90s with now.

I also recommend her book on Eritrea (I Didn't Do It For You)

Book 21.

#BooksOf2026 Book number 81

Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan

A slim, sun-soaked story of a teenage girl scheming her way through a French Riviera summer, sharp, cynical and surprisingly modern for a novel written in the 1950s.

#Booksof2026 61 - Oh No It Isn't by @paulcornell.bsky.social
I don't think I've re-read this since it was published in 1997
It does a reasonable job of setting up Prof. Bernice Summerfield post Doctor Who, but some bits (Summerfield lusting after a teenage student) haven't aged well

#Booksof2026 60 - Men of Intelligence by Sir Kenneth Strong

A slightly quirky book from the 1970s by the first Director General of Intelligence at the Ministry of Defence. Interesting reflections on what military intelligence is (and isn't) and how it can be used.
