Smart observers will deduce that I did no reading on Friday

I rarely read two similar books in a row. I make a conscious decision go from one style to another as I move from book to book. However after I read Set this House in Order, I just had to go for another similar tone and style. Perfect Circle by Sean Stewart immediately stood out from the rest of the to read shelf as the best candidate. And what a good candidate it was. Apart from a couple of breaks to put loads into the washing machine, I read this in one session. Admittedly it isn't a large book but it did grip my interest.
