It's supposed to be so good....I don't see it yet.
Just started Darwin's Ghost. It's a look back at the Origin of Species and draws the points made in the original thesis into modern day examples based on stuff we've learned since Darwin's time.
Other than that I finished the Liveship Traders trilogy (very good) recently and started on Otherland by Tad Williams which is an awesome book so far about virtual reality and time travel and...stuff. I haven't finished it so I'm not sure entirely what's going on yet.
Oh and from my last update:
Crappy book. Turns out it wasn't by Farmer at all, just some dude using the world Farmer invented. It was kind of funny/interesting but it's a 9 book series and there's no desire to learn more about their world on my end.
Edit: OH I forgot!
I also read Dayworld which was by Farmer and it was awesome! It's about a world where the population is too great for the earth to sustain so they have certain people who live on certain days. The Monday people always live on Mondays and once Monday is over with they're 'stoned' for the next week until the next Monday rolls around. Same deal for the rest of the days.
The whole premise is following a 'daybreaker' as he flees from day to day living out his 7 different lives for each day. Pretty good stuff.
