I'm about to finish Confessions of a Mask, I'll post a review once it's done. I also bought this book
“Rise and Reign of Mammals”, is by Steve Brusatte, and American paleontologist, his book about dinosaurs was good.
Also @kaamrev it's pass 4pm at Cape Town so you can't complain about timing. Most euros are awake too and soon so will the West-Coastcels

Just started “Shadow & Claw” by Gene Wolf. Which is the first 2 books of The Book of the New Sun fantasy series. I'm only 40 pages in and I'm assuming it will be awhile before the hook falls in. So far just a bunch of explanation of the area of a city the main characters guild is located and reveal of the main character being an unreliable narrator.

Honestly the Books of the New Sun were some of the best fantasy I'd read in a while. It's a slow build, but once the stage is set it gets really weird. I'd recommend the companion book, Lexicon Urthus if you find yourself confused

Interesting, I googled lexicon urthus and found there's some more short stories and novellas set in this saga, are those worth reading after finishing the five main books?

The long Sun cycle is still sitting on my bookshelf and I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I did recently read The Shadow of The Wolfe, which is a collection of short stories by Gene Wolfe and enjoyed that immensely though
