A book I won't finish, and a few words on one I did.

The Northern Lights by Lucy Jago is a great.

[nwhiker]

It is. Read it, a long while back, alas.

I did a double-take at your mention of Kevin Davies, because I have a Canadian friend with that name. He's an artist and musician.

[nwhiker]

Oh that's funny. I'm guessing it's not the most uncommon name out there!

The World Without Us is really excellent. The kids would find it fascinating too.

I'm sure you've read Blood.

Hrmph. It's hard now that I get so many from the library I can't remember what I've read. I know in the past few years I've gotten most of my non-fic science book recs from you. I loved the Demon under the Microscope so much!

[nwhiker]

I think I read Blood, but years ago... or is it a newer one I didn't know about?

The World Without Us: oooh! Never finished it, I had to return it to the library before I had time. I think I'll get it again, thanks!

I'm currently listening to "Critical Mass" by Sara Paretsky. It's fiction (V. I. Warshowsky [sp?]) but has a science angle in it. I heard about it on Science Friday of all places!
