Third Quarter Book Recommendation 2023
Four times a year, at the end of each quarter, I consider all the books I've read over those three months and offer my recommendation for one book I would suggest you try.
Not merely sticking to my favourite, but more in terms of which I would consider a good all-rounder for a broader audience.
In the first quarter of 2023, I read 7 books.
From those books here is my pick of the bunch.
The Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock
Read the review
“A boys-own classic adventure”
This entire series of books is definitely worth your time. Some say this trilogy is the origin of Steampunk, but whether you agree or not the originality of these stories is undeniable.
At 215 pages this is more a novella than a novel, but it very much has the open writing style of a novel, a little more loose in telling the story than you might expect from a shorter book. But this experience is more about getting lost in a world of new ideas than the usual beginning, middle and end. Immerse yourself in Moorcock’s vision and you’ll discover exactly what I mean.
Hurtle yourself into the unknown along with Captain Oswald Bastable, and you will have an incredible experience.
The Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock should not be overlooked.
