Vay-Kay . . . Day One

Well, guess what?

I accompanied my mom to a local thrift shop which I like to go to because they have a big selection of books that nobody buys. And I found three books which intrigued me.

Book #1 - Hominids: Volume One of the Neanderthal Parallax by Robert J. Sawyer
What's it about?
Neaderthals from a parallel universe are experimenting with quantum computers and a strange accident happens to transport a Neanderthal physicist to our universe.

Book #2 - The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton
What's it about?
Scientist tell the guv'ment to sterilize all space probes before study. A satellite falls to earth and bodies are found heaped everywhere near the crash site, faces "locked in frozen surprise".

Book #3 - The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
What's it about?
A charnel pit is discovered near a famed but lost Cabinet had been hidden. 36 dismembered bodies hidden for 130 years. Who did it?


I was gonna wait to read the books but we had a little barbecue for my dad yesterday and I began reading one of the books while I 'cued.

I got so engrossed in the book that I didn't go to sleep until after 3:30am this morning.

And then I woke up again a little after 9am and finished the damn book!

I was gonna begin the prep work for the bike today. Now I'm too tired to get started!

You should pick up Hominids. It's not a simple sci-fi story. I can now understand an atheists point of view a little more. It's a good book!

I may begin Crichtons' book tomorrow.
