pickThe Overlords take over Earth, ushering in a golden age. But what is their purpose?
Classic SF novel. Obviously dated in some respects, but still a great story.

I am taking my time and enjoying this. It is a side story to Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series. (That he came up with and wrote the outline for.) I only learned about its existence very recently. Of course I immediately found a copy on eBay to purchase. Terry Jones is a member of Monty Python for those that don't already know.
so-soThe moon has turned to cheese. & what does everybody do? Hit up Reddit, buy books, throw Flip Off the Moon parties, & have an existential crisis.
This was very silly, but very fun. We get a whole bunch of POVs which frustrated me a bit as nobody got a lot of time, but I loved the different media types from Reddit to chat conversations. The jokes were great. I enjoyed this, but the way everything was left felt a little bit of a let down.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
pick(1953) Yay for the #ClassicLSFBC because here's one I should have read long ago and never got around to till now. Maybe it's just as well, because I think younger-me may have struggled to engage with the very loose plot, flat characters, and wooden dialog. OTOH maybe I would have loved the big-picture speculation about humanity's nature, future, and our place in the universe(s?). I'll never know, but now-me found it a rewarding read.
The volcano that had reared Tratua up from the Pacific depths had been sleeping now for half a million years.

pickBook #5 of 2025: “Stardoc” by SL Viehl
This book is one of my oldest possessions. I‘ve had it since 1999 or 2000. The first in a series that saved my life. I haven‘t read it in over a decade but it stood the test of time. I love rereading an old favorite ❤️
