Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

The second part in Het Bureau series. It is a direct continuation of book one, covering part of the sixties and seventies. The Bureau moves and Maartens role grows, even though he doesn’t want it to. I loved this part even more, because of the recognition I get from his descriptions of the scientific world and congresses, and Maarten’s feelings of discomfort.
