Book of the Week: Zodiac.

Some might find Zodiac by Neal Stephenson to be an interesting choice for Book of the Week – it’s about heroic eco-activists – but it’s a good book, and a more pragmatic one than what one might be perhaps predisposed to assume. At any rate, it’s also my blog and if I want to flog a particular book, I shall. Neener.

And so we say goodbye to Leviathan, which is good – although I hadn’t realized at the time that it was also Young Adult. Not that I mind, given that it’s also steam/biopunk.

Book of the Week: Leviathan.

This week’s Book of the Week is frankly speculative: Leviathan is apparently alternate history (WWI) steampunk, which pushes a lot of my buttons. Although I suspect that I’ll be stuck with waiting for this one in paperback.

And so, it being Sunday, we say farewell to Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between.
