I just finished In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette by Hampton Sides. I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Way too much backstory, it took forever for anything interesting to happen. A very well researched book but ultimately too dry for me.
For this week I'm itching for some old fashioned space scifi. Maybe I'll read the book after Revelation Space, any suggestions?
Is there any interest in posting these threads weekly, like the music thread?
