I'll keep that one in mind... I've only read "Revelation Space" so far. I can assume you've read all the Stephen Baxter "Manifold" series?

Oh man, Revelation Space is just the tip of the iceberg of that universe. It's amazing what he's done with it and kept it all interconnected.

Yes, I have read all the Manifold books. Fascinating reads but Origin was starting to hit the "deja vu" boredom triggers before it spun off into wackiness. I also read Greg Bear from time to time.

I'll get to them eventually... but it might be a while. Been on a Stephenson kick. Finished the Baroque Cycle (eh, interesting story but WAY drawn out), just re-read The Diamond Age (my favorite) and got Anathem for x-mas. It turns out a guy I work with knows him... kids are on the same soccer team or something.

argh, I am supposed to be keeping track of what I'm reading/have read this year too.

In the Woods sounds interesting, wonder if my library has it!
