I'm reading Connie Willis' Bellwether. I am two or three chapters into it- so far so good. I don't know why i gave her another chance because I didn't like the last book of hers that i read- the Doomsday Book - even though that one somehow won a Hugo and a Nebula I wasn't impressed with it.

I'm also reading a biography of Carl Sagan. What a strange guy he was.

And I'm reading a book edited by Asimov called Before the Golden Age that is a collection of short stories written in the 1930's or 1940's in the pulp magazines. I have had to skip a few stories because they really were too pulpy and not good enough, but some are interesting.

I'm thinking of reading Watchmen again, the movie looks really good special effects wise, though who can tell if the plot will be any good.

My tastes lean towards science fiction, though I read a lot of other stuff too.
