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.

Ilium - Dan Simmons Spectacular. I loved the interplay between the robots, the literary references, and the reimagining of the Iliad. The lynchpin of the story is why would the post humans do such a thing is an unresolved question, but perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the ocean of human weakness and the temptations of absolute evil.
