Merry Christmas everyone. And speaking of "the most wonderful time of the year" (sorry Nick), I received some books for Christmas. Three books to be exact:
-Dune (can't wait to read it/at least two people here on the list highly recommended it + the series)
-Blackwood Farm (Anne Rice/for you Rice fans out there, what did you think, as this is the first book that I decided to read)
-Calculating God (Robert J Sawyer/Anyone heard of him or the book?/He has won a Nebula)
I got Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow which I've been hearing good things about for years. I'm just finishing Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson) so I'll read it next. Maybe.
I was shopping for my brother in law who also reads a lot of SF and ended up getting him a copy of Iain M. Banks' Inversions without thinking too much about it. I need to get a copy of Consider Phlebas or Player of Games (or both) for him to read first as Inversions won't be completely comprehensible without reading at least one other Culture book first.
Banks is very highly recommended by the way, excellent stuff.
