I finished Blindsight by PETER WATTS the other night and I was blown away. This guy can write.

I have picked through Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature’s Most Dangerous Creatures at the bookstore and I finally purchased a copy. This book was referenced by SCOTT WESTERFELD as a inspiration for his great novel Peeps. Carl Zimmer does a great job at writing about science in clear and easy to read prose.

I have never read a CHINA MIEVILLE book, ever. I picked up King Rat from Earthling Publications. I have made it through 32 pages last night and I can tell you that I think I am going to like this book. Mieville’s prose is dense but easy to read. That may sound like a contradiction in terms but it fits.
