Books I would lend you if they weren’t already on loan to my friends:
Zodiac: An Eco-Thriller by Neal Stephenson. From Wikipedia: “It tells the story of an environmentalist, Sangamon Taylor, uncovering a conspiracy involving industrialist polluters in Boston Harbor. The "Zodiac" of the title refers to the brand of inflatable motor boats the hero uses to get around the city efficiently. His opponents attempt to frame him as an ecoterrorist.” I picked this up on a whim from a second hand book store in Kilbirnie, for no reason other than the cover and title intrigued me. Ended up loving it, I think in part because I didn’t even read the blurb before diving into it, so I had no expectations to be met, or hint to how it may end. I’ve now leant it to a couple friends under the premise of “I don’t know if you’ll like it, but just give it a try and tell me what you think” and so far the feedback has been positive. I’m really not giving this book a good enough sales pitch but I suck at describing things so just imagine I’m handing it to you and saying pls pls read this lol...
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. I would recommend this especially If you have seen and enjoyed the movie by the same name. From Wikipedia: “The book describes a team of four women who set out into an area known as Area X. The area is abandoned and cut off from the rest of civilization. They are the 12th expedition. The other expeditions have been fraught with disappearances, suicides, aggressive cancers, and mental trauma.” My friends and I all read the book after watching the movie and most of us enjoyed it, however some of my friends felt the narration and impersonal and preferred the movie. It’s not the longest book, but there are more in the series to keep you busy if you do end up enjoying it (those I can’t speak for, however).
For more lighthearted, casual reading: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I haven’t finished the full series, but I intend to, these books are just so ... fun and charming. I doubt you haven’t heard of it, but just in case (again, from Wikipedia): “The broad narrative of Hitchhiker follows the misadventures of the last surviving man, Arthur Dent, following the demolition of the Earth by a Vogon constructor fleet to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Dent is rescued from Earth's destruction by Ford Prefect—a human-like alien writer for the eccentric, electronic travel guide The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy—by hitchhiking onto a passing Vogon spacecraft.” Stuff happens. It’s great.
THANK YOU FOR THESE. Going on my list, they sound superb!

Zodiac (The Eco-Thriller) by Neal Stephenson (book review)
Zodiac (The Eco-Thriller) by Neal Stephenson (book review)
Written in 1988 before the publication of his other various well-known, award-winning and huge novels, ‘Zodiac’ is Neal Stephenson’s fast-paced and irreverent eco-thriller that mixes organic chemistry with environmental campaigning and zany humour to produce an indefinable cocktail of a novel.
The version of the book I received an ARC of Subterranean Press’s 2010 hardcover deluxe edition. It’s…
