I just finished Blood Music by Greg Bear and really enjoyed it. I believe I saw the recommendation on lemmy so thanks to whomever recommended it.
I’d like to see it adapted to a show or movie by someone who could capture the more grotesque portions. But I feel like the unique aspects would be lost in translation and it would end up feeling derivative of the genre.
Blood Music looks interesting, going to add it to my list.
What are planning to pick up next?
I just started Tai-Pan by James Clavell. I read Shogun within in the last year and really enjoyed that. I didn’t start this right away because I heard it was part of Clavell’s trilogy but didn’t realize it wasn’t a continuous story so that disappointed me. But I’m over that now so now I can enjoy this story for what it is without that baggage.
