Library books...

"Century Rain" by Alastair Reynolds. A mashup of alternative history, space opera, and noir detective genres. It works fine, but when are scifi writers actually going to come up with new science gimmicks? Portals and wormholes to get their protagonists around, genetic engineering... how about some new ideas people?

Hegel

I'm reading Walter Kauffman's book on Hegel. His writing always pulls me in.
