Another set of books going out the door...
Griffin & Sabine, Sabine's Notebook, The Golden Mean by Nick Bannock
An extraordinary set of books. The artwork is beautiful and helps tell the story of two artists meet through the their art of postcards and stamps. Their correspondence leads to mystery and love. These books made me wish I was a letter writer. Alas, I am not.
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson
Neal Stephenson writes long books. Really long books. Mark is a big fan of Stephenson (in ebook form, otherwise the books are just too big...they are sometimes heavy and sometimes have very small prin)t. I actually partially listened and partially read this book because it was so long.
BUT, the book is definitely worth reading. The Diamond Age melds the story lines of so many characters, in such a unique way, that it is really hard to describe. The world of enclaves based on different societies, and how they interact, is so interesting; and the driving force of the book, the Primer, is such a unique creation.
