Isekai Nonbiri Nouka. Village founder, Hiraku Machio awakens from a dream of dying from a terminal illness in his past life then goes about his normal day running his farming village populated by demi-humans. In the past the God of Earth chose to reincarnate Hiraku as an apology for his unusually harsh life and painful terminal illness. Hiraku asked to reincarnate as a farmer as he loved watching farming shows in the hospital. God gifts him a powerful new body and the magic Omnipotent Farming Tool, which can summon any tool he requires and can be used without growing tired. Awakening in a forest far from civilization, Hiraku selects the largest tree as the site for his farm and with the Tool is able to construct a well, build a camp and dig his first field. To his amazement the Tool causes crops to begin sprouting without planting seeds first. After a few weeks he rescues a pair of wolves he names Kuro and Yuki who gives birth same night to four puppies. Adopting all the wolves to protect the farm from monsters and eventually Hiraku begins harvesting his first crop. Elsewhere, a young traveling woman hears tales of the monster-filled Death Forest and decides to investigate.

Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451 Any idea behind the naming of the book. Any Easter egg in the title perhaps?

Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451 It's supposed to be the temperature where paper ignites. Reference to the firemen burning books in the novel.

Not reading yet, but I just got a copy of Dave Barry's new novel, Swamp Story. It will go on the top of my tsundoku pile. :-) https://amzn.to/3payKEh (If you buy from this link, I may earn a wee bit o' money. Very little $.) ~Sue~ |

"Titanium Noir", by Nick Harraway. A combination of Sci-Fi (not too far into the future) and good detective work (somebody was killed!). |

In Another World With My Smartphone. I have reached the current chapter. It is in volume 13 at the present. I like reading these Asian comics but they take so long to reach the end. It started in 2016 and is still going. The last chapter ended in a cliffhanger. Now I have to wait for the next installment. Possibly 2 or more to finish dealing with the cliffhanger. I am reading several others to take up the in between time.

That's a good and great and illuminating and a many books adventure to read through Asimov's entire future history! Indeed. With a bit of luck I might actually be able to read them after I retire in a few years time.

Now that I'm done with the 6 Spellsinger series books that I have I decided to hit up those little books that my missus use to read starting with an armload of E.E. Doc Smith books (I'll have to sort that lot out 1st) and there was another little book in front of that lot by Clifford D. Simak called "Cemetery World" so I'll hit that 1 first as no order sorting is required. Cheers. |
