I finished reading House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds, yesterday. It was an interesting read – set millions of years in the future.
Here’s a quote:
People lived and died and did strange, pointless things to themselves. So did societies, be they city -sized states or galactic empires encompassing thousands of solar systems. Everything came and went, everything was new and bright with promise once and old and worn out later, and everything left a small, diminishing stain on eternity, a mark that time would eventually erase.
On another note, the weather has been a bit strange. We finally has some cool weather come through. It has been quite a warm April. We even had a swim at Easter. We have had some lovely sunny clear days with a little breeze. At the same time, Sydney and throughout New South Wales has had ferocious storms and flooding. It is strange that it is so different here.
