I had an interesting experience with this unusual novel, showing that sometimes you need to be in a right frame of mind to appreciate a book.
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang – Book Review
This collection of impressively varied sci-fi short stories is dry, cerebral and at times challenging, but ultimately I found it rewarding and stimulating in the best way science fiction can be.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books with Springy Covers

MSO: Vivaldi and More @ Hamer Hall
Who doesn’t love Vivaldi’s Four Seasons? It’s one of my favourite pieces of classical music, and it was amazing to hear it live as performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

John Grant @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall
This stripped down show was a perfect opportunity to bask in John Grant’s smooth, velvety baritone and emotionally raw storytelling.
