Nick’s Favorite Books
Did you know? Simon is a huge science fiction fan.
- The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi – “A novel about a society way in the future, to label it simply as science fiction would, I think, be to do it an extreme injustice, in the same way that it would be also an injustice to the body of work by great novelist Iain M Banks.”
- Books by Alastair Reynolds – “I’ve been reading Alastair Reynolds’ books. I’ve read three so far – Revelation Space, Chasm City and Redemption Ark. He’s bloody good. Science fiction has different genres – this one is ‘Big Space Opera’ which makes it good enough in itself really.”
Nick’s Favorite Places
Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast, especially the Kornati National Park.
