Clans of the Alphane Moon by Philip K. Dick My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book had some good ideas, but PKD asks the reader to make too many leaps of logic to be able to give this book a decent score. CIA agent Chuck Rittersdorf splits from his psychiatrist wife, Mary, who's a …

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett My rating: 5 of 5 stars Going Postal is an utterly delightful book to read. My last Discworld novel wasn't as good, so I was hoping for a return to form by Pratchett, and I am not disappointed. The book is a prequel to one I read a few weeks …
