The Andromeda Strain. Its an interesting book thus far, as it intertwines alien life in the form of bacteria coming to earth via a satellite that crashed down. Just something random I picked up in an effort to pound through some of the books I have had on my list for a while. The interesting thing is that I somehow acquired a copy of the book in its 1972 form. Aka the cover price is $1.25, and it has an ad in the back selling copies of the book Deliverance, soon to be a movie! Its one of those artifacts of time that people tend to overlook. With the digital age being so relevant, I wonder how books will fare in the future... I mean in my life I have already seen the Kindle and things like that which will push books into a digital medium...
Will all books become a thing of the past when it comes to their paper form?
Did I mention I love books and reading? Because I do...
I'm also reading a book on quantum theory, as well as Murder in the Cathedral by T.S. Elliot. Both are good reads in their own right.
I also just finished reading a "Teach yourself psychology" book, as well as the most recent book of the Drizzt series (Forgotten Realms... yeah I'm a nerd). The psychology book was a lot of what I knew already, just presented in a nicer format than my ever chaotic mess of a brain. Drizzt... well, lets say I was disappointed. Its the second book of a trilogy called "Transitions" and it doesn't follow the same type of mold as the first book, which really left me missing that time travelish storytelling element. Perhaps I am too picky.
Bah, I should be working on my own novel anyhow.
