I found out John Scalzi is coming to my town! So I picked The End Of All Things. I'm really enjoying it so far. I love when authors build a world, present you with all the rules and structures, then just as you get a feel for it radically change everything. I feel like Asimov does that well when he talks about the laws of robotics. Scalzi has spent a long time building this world, it's really fun watching him turn it on its head.
What are you all reading? If they are the same books as last week, are you enjoying them?
Did my annual re-read of Jurassic Park and The Lost World. I always find some tiny new thing to appreciate about the writing or some philosophical point. Yes it's an annual read, I really think that Crichton captured something essential about science fiction in his time period. Some mix of frankness, fantasy and self-awareness that I find appealing.
