listersgirlI don't seem to have read much this week, which I'm sure has absolutely nothing to do with the weekend of vodka and games. Nope.
Catherine Asaro The Quantum Rose
I read this because it was the 2001 Nebula award winner for novels, and therefore was on the lists. I enjoyed it, but it's part of a series, and as always, I have a hard time starting in the middle of a series. I'm sure there are nuances that I missed by having not read the 5 or so books written before this one. Still, I liked it enough that I will probably try others by the same author. Basically, the story is the traditional 'man from advanced technological culture meets woman from primitive agricultural culture', but with enough twists to make it interesting (some of which must be explored further in other books, because a few major points were only very briefly mentioned). And the universe that Asaro has created is pretty interesting.
Dan Savage Skipping Towards Gomorrah
Dan Savage, a funny funny man, takes on American right-wing pundits with this exploration of the seven deadly sins. C'mon, it's the author of Savage Love talking about swingers and gambling and guns -- what more do you really need to know?
