-Calculating God (Robert J Sawyer/Anyone heard of him or the book?/He has won a Nebula)
This is sitting on my pile of to-be-read books. I thought my pile was large, with about 40 or so sitting on the shelf, but it's dwarfed by Julia's pile. (Julia - where do you store all of them?)
Well, I have it read (past-tense) now. It was a really neat book. Yes I think that's the appropriate word "neat". I don't think Sawyer is a great writer, although he is very fast paced (in a good way), and very intelligent in the little things transferred from his head to paper. However his abilities as a great storyteller who envelopes one into his/her fictional world is certainly lacking. But the best thing about the book and Sawyer himself I suppose, is the originality and bold ideas put forward. Like I said, NEAT.
