I guess I'm a 'big' reader. I used to mainly read fiction before going to sleep. But I have been trying to read more during the day rather than scrolling on my phone. I thought it would be cool to keep track of how much fiction I read this year.
| Date | Title | Author | Notes | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 2026 | Cryptonomicon | Neal Stephenson | I have been meaning to read this for ages. I was warned it was a lot. This was a bit difficult to get into. The first 30 or so pages. But I am glad I persevered - it's amazing. It's a huge book, 900 paages!, so it is going to take a while. This is the first book by neal stephenson I have read. I also have Seveneves and have ordered Snow Crash. |  |
| Dec 2025 | Second Foundation | Isaac Asimov | Really good. I had no idea who the Mule was - nice suspense. |  |
| Nov 2025 | Foundation and Empire | Isaac Asimov | It’s interesting that this was a trilogy for ages and then the author wrote the following books way, way later. I found I had to keep flipping back to check which character was which. Really good. |  |
| Oct 2025 | Foundation | Isaac Asimov | Bit of a difficult read. It felt disjointed but I just found out it was 3 or 4 short stories stitched together. Looking forward to starting the next one which I picked up at a secondhand bookshop. |  |
| Sept 2025 | Earth Is Room Enough | Isaac Asimov | This is the first Isaac Asimov that I have read. It's short stories. I don't love short stories because I usually want the length of a decent size book to get into the characters and story. These are really good. I went on to read another three books by the author (the foundation trilogy) |  |
