Got back inside via a footnote!

A starting point…

Excellent first novel. Gave it a good write-up and have bought more by Reynolds.

Big-screen stuff! I’ve now made up my mind as to whether this is a novel or a compendium of extraordinary notions you only thought you knew about.

My second Schroeder, very different from ‘Ventus’.
(‘Ventus,’ along with ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,’ were the first two books to turn the Kid on to science fiction…)

This may be “early” Stephenson, but I was hooked and laughing from page 2. The adventures of ecowarrior Sangamon Taylor are as frightening as they are funny.

Gentle it may be, but “slowly, slowly, catchee monkey.” The Next Big Idea is a mind-bender.

Just getting back into Yeats. This anthology is comprehensive, if a little bit too full of notes! Until I realised that all of your man’s poems were gathered in the first half, it gave me a hard time.

Lent to me by a friend who tells me I’ve missed something brilliant right up my street.
Thank you, Stuart.
(He was right.)

For a book so evidently destined to age swiftly, you’d think twice about laying out the full price of nearly 40 bucks (32 euros).
But this very readable overview (Aug 2000) is a welcome addition to an online bookshelf. Still as interesting for what it predicts as for its historical account.
