Annie isn't just hitting a "Tina Fey chord" but something deeper and "believable".
 
After I have read and digested it, I may comment further...or simply vanish.

Yep, it was a good read, but I felt I was left hanging.  It did fill in a lot of blank spots for me from the late '50's through the late '60's.

Very interesting little book!
 

I like him.  He's the modern day Don Herbert.

I like his TV shows very much. This was the first book I read from him and I definitely enjoyed it a lot: casual, friendly writing style, not rigid and severe or, at the other extreme, childish. I'm now looking forward to reading 'Hyperspace'

I've been reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons and Dune: The Messiah by Frank Herbert, though I haven't touched either all week.

Musashi. I believe it was a serialized novel in japanese newspaper's in the 1920's to around 1932.; not sure exactly. A little long but a good read. Quite the epic.

I'm not (or at least haven't been) a big reader of books. I have liked the idea of reading books for a few years but could never find the time, or to be more exact, the motivation, to read books on a regular basis. I've started building up a small select collection of E-books, of which I've started to read.

One of the most recent and one of the first books in a while is "This is a book" by Demetri Martin. I read this one on and off at lunch breaks, just for a few laughs, as you would being written by a comedian.

The last (actual?) book I've read is Kathy Reichs first novel in a series of around thirteen so far if I'm not mistaken, called "Deja Dead". I'm a big fan of the TV series "Bones" and thought it would be interested reading Kathy's novels since Bones is roughly based on the life of Kathy and her novels. It was a great read I thought. Detailed but not confusing, interesting and educational, quite haunting/scary at times. Pretty decent for a first novel I thought, although, I'm no critic, nor do I wish to be.
