What am I reading?
The Coldest Winter: America in Korea by David Halberstam. Brilliant. History writing doesn't get better than this.
A Hatful of Sky by Terry Pratchett. After my Discworld diary, I decided to read Pratchett's "young adult" novels. I put that in quotes because, except for the fact that the hero is a pre-teen girl, these really are a lot like his other work. First up was The Wee Free Men, I am now on the second.
Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. I am re-reading this. Brilliant work on .... well, a lot of things. If people are interested, I could do a series on it, as a sort of book group.
Chindi by Jack McDevitt. SF, about discovery of intelligent life in the universe. Not bad.
