And a bit on the cultural topic, which deserves another post.

I’ve been going through the books by Iain M. Banks from the series on the Culture – after “Matter” I read “Consider Phlebas”, “Excession” and “Inversion”, and right now I’m re-reading “The Player of Games” in it’s original (which seems to be the best in the series until now). The books are written with a really wide scope, close to the hard fiction and remind me a lot of the Strugatski brothers with their series of the Progressors and Strangers.
The next in the list is “The Algebraist”, which is set in another world, let’s see how it will be.

And yesterday I found “Pushing ice” by Raynolds in Orange – I should look up the rest of his stuff in original, as the Bulgarian translation is pretty horrible (at some points you need to translate the thing back in English to understand it). I also got two books in Bulgaria (“The round fish” and one by Mihail Veshim), because I’ve been reading mostly in English lastly…

(And to clear my head I downloaded the whole Robot chicken and watched it. It’s incredible.)
