This is really, really good fun. I still have no idea exactly what kind of story it is.

Recommended to me by Jonathan Davis, the narrator, as one of his favourite recent recordings. It's really good so far!

Is he just going to kill people until nobody is left? This is quite disappointing. It was going so well until now.

Holy shit, this book is taking a long time! Not only is it MASSIVE but I've got so many other projects eating into my writing time, and I've read three other (non-fiction) books in the same time.

I'm really enjoying this. I read a lot on a travel day with three flights over 12 hours. I've another travel day on Saturday so I'll probably get back to it then.

Stop doing back story! That should be out of the way in the first quarter of the book! Just get on with...

Oh wait, I've still not reached the second quarter of the book yet. Daaaaaamn.

This is really good! The novel is set in alternative Johannesburg, and I'll be visiting the city tomorrow.

I have a feeling the ending I guessed I might get back at the 40% point is really ending Reynolds wants me to read. I prefer to be surprised. Maybe I will be.

Unless the story properly picks up, I think this might be considered "low level Reynoldian" material.

Tanzania to the moon and back. I want to do that trip.

I'll be in Tanzania in two weeks!

Reading in preparation for a special time travel episode featuring this and The End of Eternity by Asimov.

Reading this for a special podcast episode about time travel.

For some reason Goodreads.com thinks this book only has 1 page.

I read this years ago, and remember enjoying it a lot. It's written by a futurist.

About half way though, and past the place where I stopped listening to the audio version.

This is really, really good fun.

I tried this as an audiobook, and it wasn't working for me. So I'm starting again with a paper book.

Something happened in chapter 20! Then in chapter 21 it goes back to recaps, talking, and saying what people plan to do before the next chapter. 22 and 23 the same.

Oof. Chapter begins with someone thinking back over what happened since last chapter. Then there is conversation about it. Then they decide what they will do next. REPEAT FOR EVERY CHAPTER.
