A list of predominantly hard sci-fi books for your reading pleasure. I’ll loan you the ones I have, as soon as I can find them. Click book covers to go to Amazon. Lucifer’s Hammer ~ This is the one I told you about Tuesday. Oh YUM. A dinosaur-killer strikes the earth; hilarity ensues. Darwin’s Radio […]
In which I shamelessly read total trash. Hi, it’s midnight. I’m awake because I spent most of the day dozing between bouts of Cramps From Hell™ and reading total crap. I’m reading more My Little Pony porn. And what’s My Little Pony porn, you ask? Good question! See, it’s like this. Last year we had […]
In which thin-crust pizza is the best. And knitting. Yesterday, Bread and I had lunch at Revelations. We had their house pizza – pesto, Greek olives, feta, and carmelized onions – and one of the pizzas on special, plus a salad. While we were waiting for the food, I scanned the fantasy/sci-fi section and found […]

It’s sci-fi meets the classics meet a good story, with Zeus and robots and nanotech and LGM (little green men). It sounds impossible, but it works. Makes […]
I recently finished reading Calculating God by Robert Sawyer, and I have to say I didn’t much like it. I bought it because I was stoked at the idea of reading a “sci-fi” piece that was, at the very least, religion-friendly. I got instead a one-dimensional book (the entire story f0cused on one set of […]
As you know, I read voraciously. I don’t restrict myself to ebooks, but an awful lot of my reading is in e-format. I started reading ebooks way back in the day – ten years ago, now – when I got my first palm-top computer. At that time, it was mostly Project Gutenberg stuff; books that […]
