The City and The Stars by Arthur C. Clarke

This is the book I've chosen to read as my second volume of 2025! ;) It's a 50th Anniversary Collection hardcover copy. Like most of my books, I stumbled upon this one at a second-hand shop and what immediately attracted me to it was that its cover artwork reminded me so much of the Ray Bradbury's science-fiction novels I read during my teenage years. It's a genre that I love and this should motivate me to read. :) It'll also be my first Arthur C. Clarke book. Looking very forward to discovering this story!

I finished reading yesterday(usually I’m postponing,delaying,belating very often readed physical or digital books.
Goście z Kosmosu? Katastrofa Tunguska,Trójkąt Bermudzki,Obce Ślady written by Lucjan Znicz published by Krajowa Agencja Wydawnicza Gdańsk 1987(possibly it was a year of it being published).

If it's the 2nd edition it seems to have been 87, first one in 81: https://search.worldcat.org/formats-editions/749606122
Also 2 games on GOG based on the myths surrounding that meteor strike (or more exactly air burst).

As far as I know as far as I remember it took me two years to finish reading Project Montauk Experiments in Time Silver Anniversary Edition written by Preston B. Nichols and Peter Moon published by Sky Books USA from year of 2018(in the Deep Web there’s seems to be some sort of another 2020 digital update).

River of Souls, by Robert McCammon. The fifth in the Matthew Corbett series. This book is a lot shorter than the others and has Matt going back to the Carolina colonies for a simple job, but while he's down there he stumbles across a murder on a nearby plantation and some slaves blamed for it take off running up the river. Matt joins a search party with the goal of sorting out what really happened.

I appreciated that the book is leaner and meaner than the others and generally reins in some of the glibness that was starting to creep in here and there. It isn't really complex - Matt develops a theory about what happened pretty quickly and it turns out that he was basically dead on, and the story involves everyone going up a creepy river for a while, going through some crazy stuff, and then heading home. The book ends on a set up for the next one that involves the hoary old devices of coincidence and amnesia, so maybe McCammon was reading Edgar Rice Burroughs when he wrote this one.
