Only the good stuff

I read a lot and love to read. I find great pleasure in good science fiction, and enjoy thinking about the great stories I've read and agonizing over what will come next. The information I provide here is for me. I long been a voracious reader, but never a review writer. But I've been tempted to try to document my thoughts on the why, what and how of the books I enjoyed. But do feel free to peruse, and please do suggest a great read you think I'd like.

Anathem

Anathem - Neal Stephenson I love this story, and I am proud of myself for the effort it took to understand the story. Damn, I showed unusual patience for this book that required me to learn another language (kidding). But the effort paid off, and this story has raised my level.

WARNING: do not think this is an easy read. And, be ready to reread at least once to fully appreciate what is happening. But if you are strong, you can find a real treasure here.
