Books

Most recent literary happenings in the world of Max:

- Finished STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND finally. Very good book. Critiques most things, while managing to set up characters used later in the world of Heinlein as well as adding depth to the history of that same world.
- Finished ENDER'S GAME. Also good. Interesting thoughts re: war and children.
- Read and finished HIGH FIDELITY by Nick Hornsby. Not as good as either ENDER'S GAME or STRANGER, but decent all in all.
- Currently reading: THE COMPASS ROSE by Ursula K. Le Guin. So far, difficult in terms of style. We'll see what happens.

Soon, I'll be meeting with Em and Miguel to talk about HIGH FIDELITY. Wonder how that'll go. I wrote notes for discussion!

Probably going to start reading GOLD by Asimov (coll. of short stories and essays) tonight, so I figure that way I'll have a good set of three to be working through.
