Moving Pictures
Fewer moments of brilliance than the previous Discworld books, but no loss of direction part way through. Consistently funny and enjoyable from the beginning right the way through until the grand finale.
I read a lot of books, and I even try and write some too. This page contains links to books I've read and enjoyed, so I can find them again in the future (and others can read them too, if they're interested). It also houses copies of some of the short stories I've written, as well as links to download them as epub files that you can read on an e-reader such as a Kindle or Kobo.
Dates given for other people's work are the date I finished reading them; for my own work the date given is approximately when it was 'completed' - the date I first tried to submit it to a publisher.

An okay science fiction novel that could have been exceptional if it had spent less time on human experience and instead emphasised the nature of non-human conciousness.
An excellent introduction to game development and the Rust programming language. Manages that all too rare feat of being fun and informative.
An interesting essay on state and corporate surveillance, expanded into a rather dull and unimaginative novel.
The most irreverent novel about time travel I have read. Quite possibly, also the best novel about time travel I have read.
A very weird, and rather anti-climatic ending to the series.
The most pulpy of the dune novels, but still has its moments of greatness.
A radical, but ultimately successful break from the earlier setting of the series. Possibly the best book of the sequels.
Thought provoking and at times bewildering. Dune will never again reach the heights of the first book, but each sequel is nonetheless deserved of attention.
A very different book from its predecessor. Not as magnificent, but a read that rewards giving it your undivided attention.
