I didn't realise second half will also feature Iran and the life after revolution. A very interesting look at part of recent history I knew nothing about. Highly recommended if you don't mind graphic novels and memoirs.

Also read Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

This is my second book by Scalzi and he is reaching status of my favourite author. It's an easy to read space, military sci-fi. Another highly recommended book for sci-fi fans.

I really need to read Use of Weapons again. I'm such a huge fan of Banks' work, the man was an absolute genius. Reading The Hydrogen Sonata was heart-wrenching, knowing that I'd never got another of these.

It's almost 20 years since I devoured them all, re-reading them now is almost like the first time. Even discovered some I hadn't got to the first time around.
