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

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.

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 is one of my favourite books ever. That whole sequence was just amazing.

I no longer have the books. I had to sacrifice my book collection when I moved into this house, and have steadfastly avoided keeping a collection since. Basically, anything that I can't readily re-acquire should I want to I keep. And books that were given as particularly meaningful presents. And my signed copy of the Crucible of course :p And stuff I haven't got around to reading yet. Basically, despite my best efforts my house is still creaking with books, but I do at least offload them every year or so. Last year I got rid of all my 8th Doctor books, as I have them all now as pdfs. And all my new Doctor Who novels, except the three I hadn't read yet. And all my Terry Pratchett hardbacks, as I now have them all on audio.
