Books: New Moon; The World of Ptavvs; The Lonely Crowd
New Moon - Okay. Not as horrible as I expected. Had a few parts I enjoyed, but had a number that annoyed me. Jacob Black sections were... well... I enjoyed those. Edward sections were blah and annoying. I will finish the Saga, I guess, if I can get the books from the library or borrow them from someone. Not paying good money for them.
The World of Ptavvs - Decent book. Enjoyable, though not as fullfilling as I'd hoped given the previous book I read by Nivens. Then again, this was a novel and that was a compilation of short stories. I do plan on reading more of his stories. And the subject matter of this book was interesting. Not a favorite, but definitely a decent book for anyone into sci-fi. (Just remember this was written before we knew a lot about our solar system or outerspace.
The Lonely Crowd - Currently on hold. Just couldn't get into it after reading the two long prefaces. They were informative, but now my mind is craving actual stories and not studies. I do plan on reading this alter on. Seems interesting and thought provoking, just not what I want right now.
