I get people telling me I say dumb things all day.
Currently reading Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. Odd describe it but you're better off just checking Goodreads.

Carl Sagan - The Dragons of Eden

I read that book when I was 15yo it changed my life and the way I looked at the world. Sagan was brilliant.

He really is was of the most brilliant humans, I think, to ever live. I can hardly imagine his perspective on reality, with the knowledge and unique way of thinking
that he had. I've tried my best to suggest his books to anyone even slightly interested, because they really will change your life.
There's an awesome Tribute series of videos on YouTube about him if you're interested. It is composed of audio clips of him narrating portions of his books,
video clips taken from the internet and from his series cosmos, and accompanying music in the background. There's no way someone can watch this series and not be
changed, at least in some small way.
My favorite is #11 The Story of Everything. You don't necessarily need to watch them in order either. I'd definitely say check this one out. I get waves of goosebumps watching it.

Drooling......
Can't wait for my book arrive.

I'm reading City of Golden Shadow by Tad William.
Very nice story telling, I'm completely adsorbed!
Nice setting, very cool technologies (it's in distant future).
