Finished reading All Tomorrow's Parties about a week ago. Just realized there was a prequel to it called Idoru. Dammit. May still read that later on, but for now I have also finished up Robert Heinlein's first unpublished novel called "For Us, The Living". It's about this guy who tragically gets killed in a car crash in 1939, but somehow instantaneously awakens in 2086. Considering the book was written in 1939, there were a lot of political overtones and other particulars that were out of this world for the time. Some, like space travel, were brought into later into the book, and in this particular timeline, hadn't really developed like they have in reality (the moon missions, etc.). Overall a very good read.

I'm now gonna focus back to William Gibson, and read his first novel, Neuromancer. Following that, I'm tackling a bevy of short stories by Heinlein again, and follow that up with Starship Troopers, to see how well the movie held up to the book.

God I love free time and train rides. I know I could probably be focusing on something better, like homework, but this is still pretty good. I have enough time to divide it as I please. However a new job may be coming up soon, so time may be of essence sooner or later.
