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.

Book ADD continues.

A Storm of Swords - George RR Martin

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.

Happy Monkey · 02-07-2011, 03:35 PM

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.

GunMaster357 · 02-08-2011, 06:50 AM

I own a lot of books by Ann McCaffrey. The whole Pern ballad, Freedom novels, Crystal Singer, Pegasus Flight, Tower and Hive, Brainships, etc...

DanaC · 02-08-2011, 07:31 AM

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.
