I just started Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds, the last book he has had published that I have to read before I'm force to wait as he writes more!

I don't remember the author, but I'm reading a book called Spacecraft in Fact and Fiction that I found in my local library. I would highly recommend it to floatingslowly.

Am I the only one here who found that book utterly boring?

It had tons of great lines. It was very well written. It got kind of boring, and it didn't need to be as long as it was, but I suppose it was essential to the idea that anything ("pederosis" included) could be made beautiful and artful through language.

Anyway, now I am reading The Bell Jar (this edition):

finished this about a month ago. You probably ought to finish it, it would be worth your time.

I'm reading Small is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher.

It's my favorite book of all time. You should read the annotated edition, if possible. Makes clear all the little literary jokes N. was playing. Fantastic book.
