Just finished "How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder" and "Binti"

The former is very good lit fic. It does deal with some tough topics including rape and murder, but it's very good. Highly recommend.

Binti is very short, but well done. The book won a Hugo award.

Currently reading "Blindsight." It's also quite good, though I'm only through the first section.

Man, Blindsight is a trip. It wasn't an easy read for me, but I really enjoyed it.

Who's the author of Blindsight? I see several books with the same title when searching.
