I just finished the Audible version of Larry Niven's Ringworld. It's fantastic,
and I recommend it to anyone. I headed over to Powell's books and picked up
the rest of the Ringworld series after noticing that what I thought was a trilogy
now included a fourth book - Ringworld's
Children. I've read the trilogy before, many years ago and now I'm looking
forward to rediscovering and just before the science-fiction channel comes out with
the Ringworld
Miniseries. The success of the entire endeavor is going to pivot on the casting
of Louis Wu. I hope they don't screw it up.
I also picked up the
compilation of Aaron McGruder's Boondocks -
only the best comic strip since Bloom County. I'm usually not a big fan
of comic strip compilations, but this one is fresh and fabulous.
