Geeky flash read: Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

I can't not read a palindrome-titled book by an author I follow.

Apocalypse and distant descendants. Some good fun what-ifs, which is all I need in sci-fi. I could have done with more exciting space travel time, but that's an addiction I have.

The level of scientific goodness was fairly high. The plot moved a bit quickly when narrowing things down towards the end of the "modern" era after dragging the apocalypse out.

If you're a slow reader, wait until you can renew your checkout at the library, this book is hefty. But a fun read.

What I'm reading (online)

Some of the many places I regularly read from these days:
I'm enjoying  aggregator blog sites that take the best of what's around and post it for me. This seems like a sound way to get people clicking through your site. Geek feminism does it regularly, and rockstar finance exists only to aggregate other content from what I can tell.

Of course, there are probably quite a few that aren't any good at all :)

What else should I read?
