Just finished reading Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, much more satisfying than Boneshaker (by Cherie Priest). Though having said that I’ll probably read Leviathian as it has trains in it.

Spin as a sort of amalgum of ideas from Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman and Ray Bradbury. It sagged a bit in the middle, but the resolution was generally well thought out.

On semi-permenant rotation (mainly in my head) is the new album from Chvrches, very influenced by early 80’s but not bad because of that. A bit like sucking a sherbet lemon, sugary sweet on the outside, but with enough acid to keep it interesting.

In fact I’ve been digging out some of the albums I listened to from that period, and H17’s Penthouse and Pavement is still one of my faves.

Also backed the City of Titans Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans) probably won’t see that money again but it’s worth a go.

Mind you I keep typing it as City of Titians, which would be a completely different (and probably much prettier) MMO.
