Location: UK		April was a shocking month for reading,my auto immune attack continued,my eyes were full of nasty green gunk,and I could only read in snatches. had eye tests on 25th and there is some improvement,I will have to get tests and new specs prescription on 23rd May,so maybe I can get back to proper reading in June.Fingers crossed.
For now,I will just go slow,and complete the books on my April list I never finished.
my May list:
Clifford D Simak- The Werewolf Principle
C J Cherryh - Hellburner
Poul Anderson - The Broken Sword
Darcy Coates - The Hollow Dead
Jorn Lier Horst - Dregs (nordic crime for a challenge)
We'll see if I can add more if the eyes are up to it.

Location: Great Lakes, USA		May Books

Night Without Stars - Peter F. Hamilton - excellent so far.
Station Eternity - Mur Lafferty
Empress of Mars - Kage Baker
Hunger in the Soul - Mike Resnick
Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
Bird Song - Anne Hillerman
Searching for Savanna - Mona Gable

Hamilton books are long, so I may not get through all of these.

Location: UK		Clifford D Simak's The Werewolf Principle wasnt among the very best work of Simak,but even lower level Simak has interesting themes,sympathetic characters,some philosophy and of course lovely descriptions of nature,so I enjoyed it a lot. Ending was a bit rushed and perhaps not credible,but still a nice read. I have a mini goal of trying to fill all the gapsi n my Simak novels.17 down,about 7 or 8 to go,if I can locate free pdfs online.
Also read C J Cherryh's Hellburner,I think this is my 3rd read,and at last I am making a bit more sense of the highly complicated Alliance wars,so many factions and groups,and with Cherryh's style of immersion in the characters mind so we only know what he knows,you have to keep alert and on your toes to grasp what is happening. Probably in a couple of years when I next reread I will understand even more! lol.
