Perlkönig

The books I read, the music I listen to, and the games I play

“House of Suns” by Alastair Reynolds

Rating: 2.5/3. This is a great sci-fi whodunit. Reynolds creates vivid and believable sci-fi universes *and* nuanced and believable characters. I recommend this book even if you don’t love sci-fi.

“The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown

Rating: 1/3. Ugh. As long as you take it for what it is (mindless pop entertainment) then it’s not all bad. Fortunately it didn’t take me that long to read, else I would have regretted reading it more. Skip it, unless you really like Dan Brown.

  • Who am I?

    My name is Aaron Dalton. See the "About Me" link for more information. The name Perlkönig is a combination of my favourite programming language (Perl) and the title of one of Franz Schubert's most famous lied (Erlkönig).
