Reading SF in January 2026

[Hobbit]

Also, wasn't the ship in Red Dwarf called Starbug

Thanks, M: you are correct and I stand corrected!! Am now thinking where I've come across the name Jitterbug in SF before...

Well, I just started my Shards of Earth Read by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Liking it so far. Really waiting for the fourth book in the Tyrant Philosophers series though.

I’m listening to Rebeca Calder narrate ‘There is no Antimemetic Division’ I am having trouble and often missing many words as she seems so (too) soft spoken. Perhaps it’s my situation, we had 16” of snow and 0F temperatures so there is a lot of road noise and complicated driving of which I do 200 miles a day.
I was going to get Libby book to read (the U designation numbers do get confusing) but it’s a 14 week wait. Am I being unfair to her narrating?

I'm imagining you driving up and down a snowy assault course in full safety gear and a helmet in ferocious blizzard conditions AND listening to Rebeca Calder narrate ‘There is no Antimemetic Division’

You're not thinking of a certain 80's Wham! song?
