Finished When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

The book is divided so that each chapter is a new day, and it's from perspective of new people. So there is no story of certain people, rather it's about the "event" and we see things from different people's point of view throughout the book.

I didn't know that, so it took some getting used to, but once I had come to terms with that it was a very interesting book.

Highly recommended for soft sci-fi fans.

What about all of you, what have you been reading or listening to lately?

It was only mid twenties the last couple days so I was able to get some work done than get a decent reading break. I’m halfway through SW legends “Before the Storm”, it’s book 1 of a trilogy. It’s got a fairly obvious continuity error, but the first prequel movie was 1999 and this book was 1996. It says the Yoda was a hermit on Dagobah for over a hundred years, or close. I’m enjoying it, part of the story centers around Lando, and his partner Lobot from Cloud City who we haven’t heard from since Vaders little tea party there.

After this, it’s book 6 of DCC. I’m hoping the weather isn’t stupid hot and I can get some deck reading in. I enjoy just sitting with my feet in a bucket of water. Anything bigger like a wading pool and the dogs splash too much, can’t ruin my brothers books.
