Since that time I've read Baron in the Trees (loved it) Cosmicomics (couldn't finish it, didn't really grab me) and, of course, If on a Winter ( Read more... )

I can't believe you didn't get into Cosmicomics, I really liked how he took universal properties of physics and turned them into romantic stories. I wonder if you have read Einstein's Dreams? It has a similar kind of concept for a book, but in a different style.
I had a hard time with IOAWNAT, I really liked all the beginnings of the stories, but then had continuously decreased motivation to keep starting in on the new ones.
