I wish I had the time to get into it again (in audio or print form). I look forward to hearing the reactions to it.
For what it's worth, when I stopped listening it was really starting to pick up and get interesting, but by the time I was able to return to it I had forgotten too much of what I had previously heard.
Anansi Boys also waits for me... unheard.

Unless everyone wants to make it this month, The Todd figures a target date of February 28th to finish the almost 600 page book should be good. Plus, that gives anyone else who wants to jump in a chance to read it and join in the discussion.

I'll have to get back to you on that one. Halfway through and it's pretty dry but interesting. It's really detailed on the group dynamics of the colonists. Each section is about on particular character and the time scale of events has already been 10+ yrs.

I'll try. As I said, if my brain wakes up. The meds are hitting me hard lately.

Writing ... geez, I remember that. One poem in four years and no real prose.

The Todd is about halfway through and really likes it so far. A lot different than the other Gaiman books that I've read.
