What else am I reading?

A person who reads The Daily Parker regularly asked me if I read any fiction, since many of my posts highlight news and opinion (non-fiction) articles I've read in the past day or two. And my annual statistics round-up have only mentioned the number of books I've read, not their names and authors.

So for the reader's benefit, and my own in posterity, here are some of the books I've read recently, in no particular order:

• James Fell, Sh!t Went Down (#2)
• James S.A. Corey, The Expanse series, books 6–9 and Memory's Legion
• Peter Kramer, Death of the Great Man
• Hugh Howey, the Silo series
• S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders
• Nicholas Bloom, The Great American Transit Disaster
• Gail Carson Levine, Ella Enchanted
• John Scalzi, Starter Villain
• And I just last night finished Iain Banks first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas.

I'll post the complete 2023 list in my statistics roundup on January 1st or 2nd.
