Dec 2011

by Kim Stanley Robinson last night, and the next thing I knew it was four AM --that is how engrossing it is! Robinson is very well informed about the science of global warming and his characters are well rounded and interesting . I especially like Charley, the "Mr Mom" guy.

I am sure this book just keeps getting better, and it is the first book in a trilogy YEA!!! I have read other books by him and they are ALL fabulous
