New Review: Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon

ADDED a review of Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon. A mediocre book, despite the hype.

Altered Carbon is my 150th review. Not bad for a busy student (who procrastinates too much--hence the outside reading). I have a couple more books lined up to review, though I haven't gotten around to them yet: Alastair Reynolds's Revelation Space (very good) and Redemption Ark (good but not as good), Daniel Keys Moran's The Long Run (superb), and M. John Harrison's Light (horrible). The only book I have left sitting in my room is a collection of two of Alastair Reynolds's novellas, entitled Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days. I might go through that next, but then, after that, I have nothing left to read (except for the ever-exciting Administrative Law).

Well, I did get a copy of Terry Pratchett's latest novel, Monstrous Regiment, which I might read. I'm not really in the mood for satire though, especially about war. Perhaps another kickass science-fiction novel is in order.
