Addictive reading

sylvarIt's been a long time since I picked up a book and read it in one sitting. The last one I can remember for sure was Ender's Game, and I read that around 10 years ago.
But last night I got Spider Robinson's Night of Power from the library, and read it until 11pm. I went out for a bite, returning at midnight, and began to watch the spelling bee. I went to sleep at 2am, tired but quite entertained.
Night of Power was written in the mid-80s and set in the mid-90s. We didn't have in-car navigation systems then, but of course we have them now, so that didn't even seem like science fiction. But I'm looking forward to the multimedia performances of "the Juice", a band that is to flash music what the Grateful Dead were to rock.
Highly recommended. Ben-Bob says check it out.
