Off My Shelves
In anticipation of not being able to finish all my books before we have to move, I'm starting to give some of them away.  Today I gave away Consider Phlebas by Ian M. Banks (on my shelves since July 14, 2024) to a science fiction fan who will hopefully enjoy it more than I would have.  
So, I am now removing it from my "On My Shelves" sidebar.

I had, however, briefly researched Consider Phlebas  when it was in my hands (i.e. I had looked at the Wikipedia article), and it did look interesting.  I have never read Ian M. Banks before (although he had been recommended to me), but after reading up on him a little, I am now intrigued.  So maybe one day in the future I will track this book down again.  But for now, it's off my shelves.
