'The more we study, the more we discover our ignorance'

So said Shelley. He wasn't being negative. I had a good, satisfying rant yesterday, about my institution's desperation to reduce education to the cold, alienated transmission of commodified facts, tailored to suit the demands of capitalism (because that's working really well, isn't it'). Then yesterday, having finished Greg Bear's rather exciting Darwin's Radio (a gene thriller), I watched Horizon...

Book review- In the beginning (book pile update 15)

Full title; My Life with the Manic Street Preachers by Jenny Watkins-Isnardi A good insight into the bands early days and what it was like to grow up in a small welsh town in the 80's. What is most interesting is how little Richie Edwards appears, from what I'd read previously the 4 of them were a really close knit group. This suggests he was more of an causal acquaintance, and only became part of...

Haul of Books: Friends of the Library Edition

There was an enormous book sale here in Gainesville over the last few days and I thought I’d let you all know what I got (a lot of stuff, actually). Next time, in April, I don’t think I will be going quite as all out, mostly because I don’t have as much need for a lot of books anymore. I intentionally went this year trying to find things to use for my research, and now I’m only...

Write what you don't know

Tim Stretton has recently been keeping quite a detailed record of his wranglings with embarking on writing a new historical fiction. What I've ben interested in is his reading matter. He is digging into his genre, in an effort to find out more about his chosen period, sure, but also as they're the type of books he likes to read. As close observers may know, I am in the throes of writing an SF novel...

Anathem review/book pile update 13

Also this weekend finally finished Anathem. Had started this a while ago but started again when off sick last week, and after I got the hang of the setting found it a real page turner. Like all of Stephenson's novels is a doorstop of a novel but is necessary to fully envision the world it creates. The detail in the world is astounding, from the slang to the tech (I especially liked the briefly mentioned...

Last Home-Alone-Saturday til April

moar funny pictures Today was the last day of dirt track racing in the Rogue Valley and thus my last home-alone-Saturday until next April. I treated it like a holiday instead of a chore day as usual. It helped that it was a double race day weekend with races held Friday also so I was able to get the must-do chores done yesterday. Today I spent a full four hours reading in one novel. And it is a complete...

Book pile update 12

Read Long Way Down on my travels, made me feel slightly unadventurous compared to those guys and has got me thinking of finally doing a CBT and getting a bike, something have wanted to do on and off for years. Also re read the Commonwealth saga by Peter F Hamilton, but am determined to get the number of books on the pile down in the next few weeks. Still on the pile: Diaries-Into Politics by Alan Clarke...

Judging criminal suspects by their books

Pictures of Philip Garrido's bookshelves continue an uneasy tradition of scrutinising the accused's reading matter One photograph struck me during the parade of grotesquely fascinating information trickling out of the home of Philip Garrido last week. Among the images of the sheds and outbuildings where Garrido was said to have kept kidnapped girl Jaycee Lee Dugard captive for 18 years was an almost...

Publications news from me

One of the side-effects of my prolonged hiatus from this blog is that I've been quite bad about blowing my own trumpet. So, I didn't mention when my review of Greg Bear's City of Time appeared. Nor did I blog the publication of a revision of my piece on Claudius and Nero and the imperial succession. In fact, 2009 has seemed more a year of abandoning, or at least postponing, projects rather than bringing...

Evolutions will be multiple tales from the Halo universe and will be penned by Eric Nylund, Karen Traviss, Tobias...
