Also some 007 novel based on the movie, because it's drivel and puts me to sleep almost as quickly as the Gyuto Monks.

Posts: 9034 May 12 06 2:41 PM {7}Feel Enjoy!{7} Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Full title is Black Bodies and Quantum Cats: Tales from the Annals of Physics. Yes, it's about physics, sorta, but more about people, really. It's a collection of chronologically arranged essays that discuss the human stories behind scientific developments and breakthroughs. It includes the science itself, but in a pretty accessible fashion. Fun read. Would you suggest I take a look at any other Orson Scott Card stuff? Given that I'm not usually a scifi person? Maybe that's laying too much responsibility on you! Edit: Great pic. Heavens!

He had sagging tits (I think they were real) covered by thick, mangy hair that he had dyed in white, red and blue to make his chest look like a stars and stripes doormat. He even had a name for it: "Old Gory". -=More Engrish, Flancais, Gelman and Itarian at www.fahruz.org (last updated 03.02.06) =- May the Fahrz be with you!!

It's funny, I read the first book in the series and didn't care for it much. But the variety of audiobooks is limited at the library, so I thought I'd try listening to the second one. For some reason I really liked it! I'm adding your physics book to my "want to read" list at Douban. --

You might also try Connie Willis or Stanislav Lem if you haven't tried too much scifi. They're not a lot like Card, but they're very interesting writers. Have you read Cryptonomicon, by Neil Stephenson? It's not scifi, though the author also wrights scifi. It's fantastic -- takes place in two time periods, following the present-day character, who's a computer genius, and the earlier character, his grandfather, a mathematician, who was involved in the invention of computers and the use of them during WWII. It's a thriller, a mystery, a literary novel, it's great. Huan, I bet you'd like it, too. I'm going to check out the physics one soon. It sounds good.
