Let's try this as a 'Link' this week; it seems 'Thread' and 'Photo' posts aren't being created correctly and aren't federating.

I finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about halfway through All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I'm reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I've been through in a while!

I also just added Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons to my kindle today. I'm really hoping for some closure from this book. I was really put-off by the complete lack of any resolution in the last book - just one big lead up.

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I've read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series. I'm not sure why, but I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on this audiobook. Maybe because it seem to be a lot of random explanations about unnecessary things...

So glad to see the Bobiverse mentioned here. I re-read these books every now and then, mainly when I need to be inspired to clean up my project queue. "High level project management" is my favorite description of that series. Dennis Taylor has got to be one of my favorite recent authors. Cheers!
