The FInal Reflection by John M. Ford.

-The finest Star Trek novel ever.  I mean, if there wasn't a Klingon playing chess with a Vulcan on the cover, I bet this would have won the Hugo and Nebula awards that year.  It's that good.

-Not as good as the first two or three times; not that much actually happens, I know how it ends, and it's not the sort of fantasy I enjoy.  Thanks anyway, Mr. Blair.

Reading some Piper led to me looking up Little Fuzzy, and thence to discovering that it's public domain and rereading it online at Project Gutenburg yesterday; http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18137/18137-h/18137-h.htm 

It's highly recommended for everyone but Uno, being a great read and Fuzzies being unbearably cute.  I'm definitely calling Kilkakon's attention to this.

Dance of Death by Preston/Child. 

Next in the series.  We'll see how it goes.  (they didn't have the next book in the dresden files, so this'll do.)


Meh.  I give up on this series.  I can appreciate what they are trying to do, but it's not working for me.

The Siege of Eternity and The Far Shore of Time by Fredrick Pohl.

My digestive system was acting up last night, and the finished the one and burned all the way through the other before I went back to bed this morning.  The latter was far more satisfying than the former, though that's what I get for starting a trilogy in the middle.

Fool Moon:  Book 2 of the Dresden Files.

Ok, the first book was OK.  This book rocks.  Gotta go find the third.

Of all the employments, working in the the brood pit was at once the most horrific and the most desirable. Horrific for what we saw occur day after day, and because of the very nature of the sessile native lifeforms. Desirable, because having been chosen to work in the pit, you were highly unlikely to be one of its victims.
~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard 'The Shadow Resonance'
