Baileyslave (7:23:39 PM): which Anita?

Trilaja (7:30:20 PM): i'll read it soon
Baileyslave (7:30:36 PM): it was OK - a little too episodic... he kept ending up in the dungeon
royw365 (7:30:41 PM): and that cat creature was one of the better deux ex machinas ive seen
QueenSidhe (7:30:52 PM): Don't you like this place? Your TBR pile grows exponetially in a few minutes.

Baileyslave (7:34:26 PM): guon
Trilaja (7:34:38 PM): i like books rather than a screen
Baileyslave (7:34:49 PM): so, did Practice inspire folks to read more Brin?

QueenSidhe (7:36:53 PM): But I thought it would be something totally different from Practice.
royw365 (7:36:55 PM): 'you will read the uplift group'
KWM01 (7:37:09 PM): Uplift is not as good
QueenSidhe (7:37:10 PM): Nominate it later and we can read it together. =)

Baileyslave (7:42:09 PM): I thought it was a pig
KWM01 (7:42:13 PM): Was it Earth, I thought it was a colony?
QueenSidhe (7:42:24 PM): Yes, but that piglet thing was created by people on Earth.

QueenSidhe (7:42:40 PM): The colony was infected with something and sent a distress.
Trilaja (7:42:43 PM): i dont think the book wil come true
QueenSidhe (7:42:58 PM): Earth sent the piglet before scrambbling the portals.
