WHAT have you just finished reading? Flash Back, an alt-history/SF novel about the discovery of time travel and nation-states’ attempt to change the 20th century. Amusingly, I just found it yesterday via Athena @ One Reading Nurse’s TTT post. Review to be posted today. Unless you count the odd graphic novel I found on StackExchange while googling “alternate history World Trade Tower” , in which a woman goes back in time to save the people in the Twin Towers, but ….winds up distracting everyone with her ipad. Unfortunately it gets into Truther arguments, but I was surprised to learn how many Congress-people were aware of an active aviation threat in September. No idea what its formal title is.

…..focus, guys…..

WHAT are you reading now? Oh, I’m just casually looking at books, haven’t started seriously dating anyone. Need to finish several titles — Princess of Mars, Mountains of Fire, Fires of Vesuvius, not to mention The Anxious Generation. TAG especially so because its one I wanted to read for months, but it’s ..grim.

WHAT are you reading next? Science fiction was supposed to be the focus this month, so more of that! Still haven’t forgotten about returning to Chambers, but I also spotted an interesting title called Repeat about a man who keeps waking up and having to live his life again from a certain spot, only with every successive restart he’s slightly older. (That came up when I was idly googling for Trade Tower alt-histories, somehow.)

  1. Flash Back sounds interesting! When I was in college I was a TA for a course that focused on 9/11 and it was fascinating to learn more about what happened (albeit sad, of course).

    TAG sounds like an important read that I feel I should read but do I honestly want to in my heart of hearts? Probably no? Especially if it’s grim. I think I’ll wait to see what your thoughts are before I decide if I should try it. Also I heard of Sci-Fi Month which is a blogging event in Nov and thought you might like that 🙂
