I'm re-reading Zodiac because it's a paperback (the downside of library books is that they're almost always hardbacks.), and because it's good and fun to re-read (for definitions of 'fun' that include near-Silent Spring levels of paranoia.) (ooh, triple threat: SS, The Sheep Look up, and Zodiac. I think I'd move to Oregon and live in a straw bale house after that.) Bonus: the cute boy who's always out and about soliciting money for Childrens' International yelled "Good Book" at me as I walked by reading at lunch.

I may need to re-read Snowcrash after this. Or maybe some Sarah Zettel? I think I'm in a SF mood, and I never know what books to read for that.

Have you read The Diamond Age?

Of course I have. I never finished Crytonomicon, and I never started the Baroque cycle, but other than that.

I found my James Schmitz collections, though, so I'll read them and that'll keep me busy for a bit.

Kim Stanley Robinson!

Try "Antarctica," or any/all of the California trilogy: The Gold Coast, the Wild Shore, and one other. The latter 3 are the same place, the same time, but very different futures. Interesting connections between them... conceptual, but cool.
