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.

Heeft iemand hier nog iets aan toe te voegen? by R. A. Lafferty

This short story collection by R. A. Lafferty has stories about secret places and mean men. It’s an enjoyable collection, with the story that I remember best being ‘About a Secret Crocodile’ in which our world is ruled and influenced by many secret groups, who find out they are being (unwittingly) undermined by several ordinary people. A nice collection, not strictly science fiction (which was the genre I had placed it under) but not quite normal either. Three out of five stars.
