pickHappy World Book Day! I actually finished a book today due to lucky timing. Even though I have the physical copy, I actually listened to this one on librofm. I couldn't resist since Tom Baker was the narrator. He was the 4th Dr. on the series and my first doctor. The story was solid and very much fit his zany vibe. There is an extra interview with Tom at the end of the physical copy, as well as the history of how the story came about.

The moment was done. It was already a quaint snapshot, ready to be discarded for more useful memory, stronger regrets.
Love that my cup of caffeine is cheering me on as I start this #chunkster
so-soNot the best written book I've ever read, but engaging nonetheless especially toward the end of the book. Genre of sci-fi with time travel.
…this is the history of our species, and the best we can do is win the tiny battles and hope for some sea change. The more I see, the more difficult it is to disagree with them. But a part of me still revolts against the notion that this is our basic nature; that we are, in essence, self-serving creatures. That love is an explainable construct and souls are a pretty feint to distract ourselves from our own cruel emptiness.
