This third book seems, currently, completely disconnected from the first two; so far it's about life as a fellow on a college board. Is Lewis just telling us about a day at work? We're almost thirty pages in; where's this going?

This was a really beautiful read. It's very short, written intentionally to be read in one sitting. It tells the story of an elderly lady presently in Australia 2023, and when she was five and being removed from her village in Palestine in 1948. And the parallels of what has and hasn't changed in 75 years. Very poignant. Almost poetic. Definitely essential reading to help understand our current times.

Everyone should read this. Like, now.

Book two, "Perelandra", done. I would've finished it a few nights ago, but I kept dozing off (not for lack of interest!).

Book 2: Perelandra. Here we go!

I'm out and don't have access to my current tome. So on to the ereader!

Just finished the first book: "Out of the Silent Planet" I'm very much enjoying this so far!

What happens when Vision, who is immensely powerful, longs for a "regular family" including all the turmoil, unpredictability, and emotional struggles that come with it. Superman meets the Bicentennial Man.

A bunch of Scalzi's books are going in a Humble Bundle right now; 21 books for A$30 (www.humblebundle.com/books/john-scalzis-interdependency-old-mans-war-and-more-tor-books-encore). Are they any good?

I was given this as a gift years ago... Now's a good time to read it, I guess?

I like that this series is three separate stories, and not a continuation of characters throughout. It's also definitely scratching a hard SF itch in a way that SF comics seem to not normally be able to do.
