Just finished The Planets. A good read, but a bit short I thought. Only lasted 4 or 5 bus journeys.

Has inspired me to go watch all of Cosmos again, which has to be a good thing.

Just finishing Far from the Madding Crowd. Hardy's books follow a bit of a formula: first third is deadly; second thrid bad guys win; final third crazy shit happens, mostly involving death. He's class. John Irving next.
