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.

A nice short story collection by the great Richard Matheson (famous for I am Legend). This collection has several of his horror stories, which are all creepy in their own way. Like the story about the staged funeral for a supernatural being who is immortal, or the story about the rape of a girl in university. Or the dreams that turn more real every night for one poor(?) man. A very strong collection with good stories, four out of four stars.
