I finished The Algebraist. Really liked it. I think some might have felt the ending was anticlimactic, but I enjoyed it. Need to pick up more books from him.

As a quick palette cleanser I’m reading Quick Service by Wodehouse. It could definitely make an interesting little play. Hijinks in a manor house and all that.

I’m about halfway through the Algebraist, and weirdly the best way to describe it is the Da Vinci Code in space.

Except it’s way better than that.

I have really been enjoying The Algebraist (yes, I read at least two books at once. Or more precisely, I read one or more books while listening to an audiobook book.)

I knew I should have explored Iain M Banks a long time ago, but there’s just so much to read. I’ll definitely be getting more. Of course, I also need to read the Expanse.

Started reading The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks. I haven’t read anything by him before, but it’s a stand alone novel. I’m 100 pages in and I’m not really sure what it’s about, but it’s interesting so far. Very high tech science fiction.

"Buried" ocean on Saturn's moon Mimas:

How deep does this ocean go?
Could Mimas be a #waterworld?

The Solar System has a new ocean — it’s buried in a small Saturn moon

The sea within Saturn’s satellite Mimas formed within the last 25 million years, a blink of the eye in geologic terms.
