Books
Fluke • 2025 • Brian Klaas • (In progress) You’d thinking finding out everything is random and our smallest choices and actions can change everything would be scary and depressing, but in fact this book is interesting and though provoking and not at all depressing. That sounds like I’m just tolerating it, but I’m in fact enjoying it quite a bit. • Loved It!
To Say Nothing of the Dog • 2013 • Connie Willis • Book 3 of the Oxford Time Travel series. It’s funny and cute and compelling, even if I miss Mr. Dunworthy’s constant presence ala Doomsday Book. But Ned Henry and all the other characters make this a fun book that’s hard to put down. • Loved It!
