I can't believe we are only a week away from the next #BookSpin draw! New to the list for this month are the tagged and Consider Phlebas. I've kind of been in a bit of a reading slump lately so hopefully this will motivate me to get back out there.
For #LetterO in the #alphabetgame I have chosen one of my favourite SF anthologies.

so-soI‘m a fan of the Arthur C. Clarke “Odyssey” series of books/films, but never read the third installment. The plot: centenarian Heywood Floyd leaves on his final space journey to Halley‘s Comet and gets wrapped up in a rescue mission to Europa. It‘s a gentler and rather lesser cousin of “2001” and “2010” but I enjoyed the speculative (modestly outdated) science and Clarke‘s humane vision of humanity‘s pursuit of the unknown.
pick2001: A Space Odyssey is my favorite film, so reading this was a thorough delight. Michael Benson wrote a heavily researched book that both captures the scale and majesty of this movie while also detailing the bitter fights that defined its production.

pickWhat can I say other than another great addition to the series? It definitely is more for people who like science and trippy space discoveries. You keep coming to find out what they uncover next, it's just a lot of fun for a nerd like me. 4.5/5🌟
