Jul. 2nd, 2012 02:22 pmFeeling much better. It's amazing what a little sushi and some bubble tea will do for a girl. My emotions are very nova-like in that things accrete and accrete and accrete and then they go BOOM! and then things are better (while the accretion cycle begins again).
Yes, I just went all astronomy-analogy on ya'll. I love a good astronomy analogy.
Speaking of, now's as good a time as any to talk about the latest book I read. Or, rather, well, it's complicated. Anyway. I began following the Sword & Laser vlog a couple months ago and I thought it would be fun to read along with their monthly book club. I had hit this point with scifi/fantasy books where I didn't know what was good so I stopped reading pretty much anything that wasn't by an author I already knew and loved/enjoyed. Which is how, back in May, I came to read Hyperion by Dan Simmons. And then, when I got to the end and discovered a cliffhanger, I had to go on and read its sequel/companion The Fall of Hyperion.
Wow, that's a lot of backstory.
( Here Be Spoilers )
In sum: Time travel is timey wimey and not that easy to understand. But if science fiction with a heavy side of philosophy is what gets you going then these are probably the books for you.
Next up: The Stepsister Scheme by Jim Hines.
