I haven't read Shroud. I will put it on the list, thanks.

I recently read (listened to the audiobook actually) Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.

It's about the life of Thomas Cromwell. The narration style is not for everyone, but it's the best historical fiction story I've read.

Children of Time is great. I also thought Alien Clay by Tchaikovsky was interesting. Although I'm a little skeptical about how aliens work in that one.

I love to see bikes overtaking cars.

I hate to see bikes not stopping and yielding to pedestrians using the crosswalk when pedestrians have the right of way.

The idea that there's cross talk between rod and cone dominated pathways has been understood for years.

But the technique they used requires a lot of skill and the study sounds very impressive.

I agree.

ASOIAF is amazing, and If GRRM can't write a good ending, I'd rather the series stay unfinished than have finished it in a way that detracts from the story.

Exactly.

I hate posts like this. If people on the left could unite against capitalist billionaires we would stand a chance.

Instead, we attack each other while they laugh all the way to the bank.
