Things that Big Dumb Object has loved and hated this week:
Loved
- Anathem, still reading it, still loving it.
- Local pork.
Hated
- Not being able to spend all day reading.
- Peter Pitrelli from Heroes. He is so stupid.
- Still not updating BDO's design.
I got my copy of Anathem the other day (£9 on Amazon? Bargain!) and it's a MONSTER of a book! And a lovely looking cover. Can't wait to get my teeth into it (once I'm finished with The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan)
Yes, it is indeed a monster! I'm really enjoying it, it's not a fast paced action novel, but has lots to think about, and that immersive getting lost in it feel.
Just the kind of thing Stephenson does best then! Can't wait to get going!
