24. I just read a chapter that I could've skipped.

It was a well written rant about Eco-fascism. I can see where he is coming from as I have been exasperated with people who don't take the whole of the situation we are in - focusing on pieces of the problems. Anyway I am tempted to skip over some of these chapters - something I never do in novels. I just don't like overt preaching.

There are 3 novels I attempted and failed to finish, Moby Dick, Don Quixote and Dune I don't want this one to make it 4.

I do have a couple of books waiting - The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett and Tooth and Nail an Ian Rankin. Maybe I will give Anderson a rest and enter the "wild and wonderful universe of Discworld- discover where all the madness begins!" - blurb on the cover of the Pratchett book.
