What are you reading now?

I just started on Krishna Udayasankar's 3, a re-creation of the Sang Nila Utama legend.

3 by Krishna Udayasankar (Ethos Books, 2015, $25)

The Collected Poems Of Arthur Yap. Most of the other stuff that matters to me, I can easily find online, but work from a local writer which is out of print is a bit more tricky.

  • 3 by Krishna Udayasankar (Ethos Books, 2015, $25) is available from Ethos Books. The Grace Of Kings by Ken Liu ( Saga Press, 2015,$16.68) and The Three- Body Problem by Liu Cixin (Head Of Zeus, 2015, $18.95) are available from Books Kinokuniya. The Collected Poems Of Arthur Yap ( NUS Press, 2013, $32) is available from NUS Press.
