My tweets Sun, 12:56 : Very interesting. (h/t @ChairmanYaffle ) https://t.co/Hw6JqoQD5M Sun, 13:45 : Vineland, by Thomas Pynchon Sorry, this just doesn't do it for me. Writing style too convoluted, characters wacky in a rather uninteresting way, plot non-existent. #nwbooks https://t.co/RVcOKksW4u https://t.co/JqABSqZXHV https://t.co/cBuyBXShp4 Sun, 14:20 : MMR: Science & Fiction: Exploring a Vaccine Crisis, by Richard Horton Horton tries to use the MMR affair as a lens through which to examine justice, truth and the public perception of science. I don't think he succeeds. #nwbooks https://t.co/GU7Bh1QH7w https://t.co/04StVcO8Le https://t.co/Eb2cruhD5K Sun, 14:48 : Good summary of where we are and where we may go. https://t.co/yhT8lxiC1d Sun, 14:55 : Falling Free, by Lois McMaster Bujold A feel-good engineering novel with a social twist: our hero must defeat the evil man from management & rescue hundreds of genetically modified children & teenagers from certain doom. #nwbooks https://t.co/7cMm75DYs8 https://t.co/sMFC6d4D7o https://t.co/lLHKc5JHbz Sun, 15:05 : August 2008 books https://t.co/0xdDYWlt9C Sun, 15:21 : Before the museums all close... (@ Biblioth�que royale de Belgique / Koninklijke Bibliotheek van Belgi� - @kbrbe in Brussels) https://t.co/qE6YL8hc5p https://t.co/PrOdwhDval Sun, 15:30 : The Strangest Man, by Graham Farmelo Farmelo tries to explain how Paul Dirac, from a modest background, with no family history of contributions to science, revolutionised how we think about the fundamentals of existence. #nwbooks https://t.co/Mlo5fMk07D https://t.co/5LAqSX9yYT https://t.co/yGebIi5fuf Sun, 16:05 : Winter Song, by Colin Harvey I liked this book a lot: protagonist from sophisticated spacefaring society crashes into Viking-style world, and then must track down the long-abandoned spaceship. #nwbooks https://t.co/8llZxfhYNA https://t.co/NxGJqDJkoU https://t.co/C7TBg2pnII Sun, 16:37 : RT @MSmithsonPB : Latest WH2020 early voting.

I'd forgotten about that very rational and logical letter to his future wife. Sun, 17:15 : Sodom and Gomorrah, by Marcel Proust Sodom and Gomorrah respectively are male homosexuality and lesbianism; the plot moves from one to the other. Proust captures very well the paranoia of someone newly in lust. #nwbooks https://t.co/wWopaXEGc0 https://t.co/GBMRtMG5h4 https://t.co/DNU4m10mwu Sun, 17:50 : Fr�d�gonde, La sanguinaire, vols 1 and 2, by Virginie Greiner and Alessia de Vincenzi The first volume is well-paced, but the end of the second book in particular feels rather rushed. #nwbooks https://t.co/LKW5tqE5ib https://t.co/gShI1iWgKL https://t.co/6XfgoIwgIg https://t.co/DU2OOBIQmA Sun, 18:59 : RT @0tralala : @nwbrux His book Churchill's Bomb is very good, too.
