"That is not my cow!" brings back good memories of reading books to the kids. Nice touch that Sam always makes it home to read each day.
An anthology more than half a century in the making, The Last Dangerous Visions is …
It was a very long time coming, but well worth the wait. J. Michael Straczynski's intro explains why the book was delayed and provides a clear-eyed but loving epitaph for Harlan Ellison.
An engaging and wide ranging discussion of why things are sticky, geckos, swimming, airplanes, tires, tectonic plates & earthquakes, melting ice, our skin, and what items "touching" actually means. I highly recommend this!

Interesting tales of Appalachian folk tales and life from the perspective of traveling balladeer John with the silver stringed guitar.

Lots of twists, turns and surprises. Feel like my emotions have gone through the wringer.
Information doesn’t want to be free. Information wants to vanish without a trace.
Sunya Song’s …
(Read this early as an ebook ARC from Goodreads giveaway.) An excellent continuation of the White Space series. Sunya and her research are the main contributors to the story progression but many other characters have important roles and contributions. Also, a little discussion about functioning societies and the obligations they entail.
