I also recommend "The Force is Middling in this One."

He is a funny guy.

I would favorably compare Bob Kroese to Douglas Adams, except that Adams had a typically dry British sense of humor, and Kroese is decidedly American, geeky American at that, using Linoleum as a plot point and sneaking in a reference to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.

Just getting into it, but he is friggin hilarious.

Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls. At page 11. I like.

Finished Doctor Who and the Sensorites, starting on Doctor Who and the Reign of Terror (last episode of Season One).

Book ADD continues.

A Storm of Swords - George RR Martin
365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy - James Dellingpole
Wolf and Iron - George RR Dickson
Star Trek 1 - James Blish

All at the same time. I switch whenever the story starts lagging.

Oh, I loved Crystal Singer! Read it years and years ago. Might reread it sometime.

wolf · 02-07-2011, 01:23 PM

I had forgotten a lot of the story ... I remembered the major stuff, but some of the character interactions were very fresh on the reread. It's probably 20 years since I read it last.

Ha. Must be about the same here.

I'm in book two of Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. It's an interesting take on time travel as run by the Oxford history department.

"The ship who sang" by Ann McCaffrey

DanaC · 02-08-2011, 05:54 AM

The Ship Who Sang is one of my favourite books ever. That whole sequence was just amazing.
