Number6's Journal

No comics today, because I didn't have anything I wanted to get

Work was okay, but unfortunately wasn't earlier like I hoped it might be (even if I never mentioned that hope). Didn't really have lunch.

But, in the past couple days I finished my two current books, so it's time for BOOK FOO!

Finished: The Naked God by Peter F. Hamilton (last part of the Night's Dawn Trilogy).

Thoughts behind the cut, implied spoilers but nothing too detailed. In brief: mildly enjoyed.

Finished: Spin, by Robert Charles Wilson (Hugo award winner)

Not really any spoilers behind cut except for basic concept. Also some rambling thoughts on time dilation. In brief: Quite enjoyed it.

Started: Battle Royale by Koushun Takami (reread)
and
Seeker by Jack McDevitt (probably, but subject to change since I technically haven't started yet).

Yep, here we go again. Guess I had a lot to say these last few days...

First, just got back from the Taste of the Danforth, where I had Gyros. I had to include that, because gyros do not go without comment. Mmmmmmmm, gyros. Actually, I had more than that. I had _2_ gyros, some zelnic (cheese pie. Well, technically I think it can refer to either the cheese or onion or spinach pie, but I had the cheese cause I don't like the other two), and some Loukamades (honey balls). Mmmm. Although I do have one bone to pick with the second gyro. The greeks encourage attempts to innovate, but the gyro is a delicate balance, and lettuce does not belong in the balance. It throws off the flavour medly, and turns something from 'awesome meal' to 'tasty but could be better'.

Next topic! Relativity, Time Dilation, and Communications Across The Gulf of Stars
