The Collapsing Empire

The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another home run sci-fi epic by John Scalzi. I'm not a fast reader, yet I sped through, turning pages every hour over just three days. Familiar ideas with fresh takes, lively characters and layered plotting make this a great entry point along with Old Man's War for his writing.

12 Days on the Road: The Sex Pistols and America

12 Days on the Road: The Sex Pistols and America by Noel E. Monk
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Getting a day-by-day, hour-by-hour account of the Sex Pistols infamous tour of the U.S. is the proverbial accident you cannot take your eyes off of. Pairing well with "England's Dreaming" by Jon Savage, this is a must read for any fan of the Pistols, 70s punk or the behind the scenes world of touring bands. Would love to see this turned into a mini-series on Netflix or HBO where all the debauchery could be properly explored.
