Just re-read Then We Came to the End. Just as funny and relevant as when I read it almost 20 years ago.

One of the only novels I've ever read with 2nd-Person narration that actually works.

@foster4prez so I got about halfway through Devolution today. Just finished the scene where

the Bigfoot show up right outside their little house for the first time, right after the scene where they heard the mountain lion getting destroyed.

Glad you liked it. Still have no clue how I stumbled across a random signed copy in a middle of nowhere bookstore. Ha.

The Wager is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, I think it'll be a beach read this year.

just picked up a copy at Barnes and Noble... good idea ^^^

thx for the referral @foster4prez ... ordering Devolution too

Just finished this book last night and it was fuckin fantastic. If you’ve watched or read Band of Brothers then this is one you’ll definitely enjoy. It’s not so much a war memoir but more of a side by side autobiography of their entire lives. Highly recommend.

never was good at purposeful delay...

• read The Wager, no beach... enjoyed it lots but, I'm sorry... can't help but compare anything re that era (real or imagined) to Patrick O'Brian.
• read Devolution... savored it in small bites... taste lingers.
• reading The WindUp Girl... if you've already been there, I'm sure you're just a mite jealous hearing this is my first immersion in this brutal magnificence.
• will be reading Rainbow's End... am a big fan of Vinge's earlier stuff; this one copped a HUGO so it should be ok.
