Books read and other media of note: |
Destiny Doll by Clifford Simak One of my favorite of the golden age of sci fi, this story feels more like fantasy than sf, but it works well... Supreme Courtship by Christopher Buckley His satire is always fun, but slightly more pointed when Washington is the target. Like all great American satirists, he's an equal opportunity skewerer... Permanence by Karl Schroeder This was good modern hard sci fi--concepts I'd been thinking about like tethered bolo ships to create centripetal "gravity," also quite reflective about what it would take to create a permanent culture worth sustaining over the millennia. A Maze of Death by Philip K Dick Dick's novels are seldom what you think. This one seems to be a futuristic Agatha Christie whodunit, but has several plot twists to make it more... The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie As a former librarian I would have enjoyed a public library more as the setting, instead of an English manor house library, but Miss Marple ferrets out the rats in the end in a thoroughly entertaining manner. |
