November 05, 2004.

Currently reading the “Mars” Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Mostly because I’ve been using public transportation to get to the office the last two weeks, and that gives me almost 2 additional hours of reading time every day. So, a 2000 pages trilogy does come in rather nicely here.

Anyways, I’m 100 pages into book 2, and it’s pretty good. It’s not your off-the-shelf “OMG WE’RE TEH SPACE PEOPEL” scifi.

Back to work (sadly, I’ve arrived in the office).

Coolness, love to hear more about this.

I enjoyed the first book, liked the second and died on the third.

I've gotten to hear Stan speak and read a number of times. You might also want to check out "Years of Rice & Salt" as that is a novel that came out this year and is getting hot reviews.

PS: In English or German, out of idle curiosity?

Since it was a present/leftover from one of my co-workers, I didn't have much choice. :) So the first book is German (the translation is a bit ...weird at times), the other two are English. Truth to be told, I like the original versions more.

Hrmm... interesting. At some point I'll want to pick your brain about translations. Like when I have a novel that has been optioned for German. ;-)

@4 Yah, yah.

Actually, I really do need to get writing. I just commited myself to having a story to an editor for a chance at an anthology by mid-December.
