Reading List – 2025

As is becoming tradition for me – a quick roundup of my favourite books from this year:

• 2312 – Kim Stanley Robinson – This has to be my standout. While some find Robinson’s descriptions somewhat long-winded, I don’t remember reading any other ‘future histories’ that feel as fleshed out and vivid. Absolutely captivating, surprising and a perfect cousin to the Mars Trilogy.
• Old Twentieth – Joe Haldemann
• Cabin Porn – Zach Klein (the co-founder of Vimeo interestingly enough)
• Piers of the Homeless Night – Jack Kerouac
• Create Dangerously – Albert Camus
• The Vanishing American Hobo – Jack Kerouac
• Defense of Intelligence – Albert Camus
• Born Under Mars – John Brunner
• Not Before Time – John Brunner
• City of Illusions – Ursula K. Le Guin
• The Left Hand of Darkness – Ursula K. Le Guin
• Orbital – Samantha Harvey
