Location: UK		Have had to neglect this challenge for a while due to real life problems and the need to finish other 2016 challenges,but now I hope to get stuck in!
I have gone back to 1991 to read terry Bisson's Voyage to the Red Planet as a bonus book,and have finished Michael Swannick's rather bizarre Stations of the Tides for 1992. I liked Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep,superior space opera,great original aliens,all good fun.
For 1993 I read Greg Bear's Moving Mars,so-so IMO an odd amalgam of a YA romance,politics and then a fast paced thriller at the end. I am sporadically attempting to read KSRs Green Mars,and as with Red Mars I just dont like it,its taken two weeks to drag myself through 175/580 pages! I'll persevere, but its a duty read,because I am working through the Hugos list And then Blue Mars still to read!.....sigh.....
When I finish with Terry Bisson I will go on to my 1994 read Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather,while continuing the slog through Green Mars!
