    Director's Cut? Or am I just too cynical?

    Recommend just one book

    I haven't read anything this year. Not in novel format. I should. So I got to thinking if there was one single book you'd recommend this year, what would it be and why? I just thought I'd ask that question. *grins*

    Oldest known World....

    I am trying to imagine what it looks like. A pulsar and white dwarf and the planet orbiting around. Do you read that there was the possibility of an earth like planet around the bigger jupiter like one?

    Pre-Pharonic Egypt threatened

    I was just reading Brian's comments in the Not recommended topic. Though I can appreciate his tastes and reasons for not liking The Reality Dysfunction, I'd like to disagree and recommend the whole series. *smiles* It's a wholly immersive and visionary work, and it's quite an accplishment that...
