(no subject)

I am very proud of myself for evidently being the first to list Nick Sagan as an interest. Yesterday at the library I picked up Idlewild from the new books section and glanced at the back. One of the blurbs called the beginning of the novel a cross between Amber and the Matrix. Is that the Amber I think it is? I wondered, flipped open the book and discovered that yes, it probably was. Then I looked at the back and saw that the aforementioned review was written by Neil Gaiman, and then I knew I had to get it.

So I've been very slightly neglecting exam study in favor of it, and, well, it's ( interesting. Very minor and very general baby spoilers ahead, barely spoilers at all really, but I figured I'd warn you. )

In spite of the overall tone that I think this entry has, I did enjoy the book. Enjoyable, interesting, and I don't think I've ever read anything like it. If you're a scifi fan, you should definitely pick it up. If only so I have someone to discuss it with. :)
