Our favourite books every Monday.
Rendevous With Rama was a turning point in my reading opening up sci-fi in a whole new way. Rather understated in comparison to a lot of sci fi delivering a quietly profound meditation on contact, curiosity, and humanity’s small place in a vast universe.

Who has attempted the mammoth task of working through In Search of Lost Time?
I have been slowly working through but it is a herculean task.
The writing is beautiful but dense, and at 1.3 million words in length it is not for the faint hearted.
