Super fun book alert!

A friend who is a reader here (and a monthly donor!) recommended a book recently, while we were chatting during evening drinks and cigars at Acton U (he and his wife went to that, too – smart people).

I just finished the audio version and I must pass it along.  It was great fun!

Consider listening to it, since an audio book plays a part!  I had it on my Kindle, with the Audible option (which, in a cool way, synchs across your reading options).

It’s wonderfully nerdy and old fashioned at the same time.

Don’t have a Kindle yet?  Get a Paperwhite HERE.  One of you wonderful readers sent me one.  I have been using it in tandem with my older Kindle.  The Paperwhite is super slim and small, easy to slide into a pocket.  There is the Kindle Fire HERE.  I haven’t used one of those yet.

UK HERE.

    I have a Kindle fire. I love it! I have all kinds of apps and goodies. All kinds of books, a bible, and a breviary. Plus Lord of the Rings downloaded so I have it even without wifi. Super cool!

    I saw the title of this post and immediately assumed you’d ended up in another science fiction novel…

    I wholeheartedly second this recommendation. I listened to this on Audible and enjoyed it thoroughly!

    This is the second warm recommendation I’ve had about this book in the past few months. So now I have to read it. I’m getting the paperback copy, because I hear the cover glows in the dark!
