David That looks an interesting read. If you like railway history, Christian Wolmar has written several books on this http://www.christianwolmar.co.uk/ Regards George |

Gordon, Great minds... ;~) I actually forgot to name the book in my post. It is "Communication With Extraterrestrial Intelligence". ~Good book. Mr. Kevvy mentioned it recently, and I've been wanting to check it out, so I did. :~) It's an interesting book because really in the grand scheme of things, it feels like the book could have been written today, but it's nearly 50 years old.

Finally getting through the Arthur C Clarke Space Odyssey series at work, and at home I'm re-reading (for what seems like the hundredth time) Red Dwarf - Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers. I've also got The Crow Road by Iain Banks staring down at me from the bookshelf... John Turner | Cheshire, UK |

Gordon, CETI. I read that in the first paragraph of your picture post. So the book name wasn't lost.

As we seem to have stopped the threads about the recently departed I am posting this here, as I sure many of us have read books, to many to mention, and articles (Byte magazine etc.) by Jerry Pournelle https://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/ From Jerry’s son Alex: R.I.P. |

Anyone still reading the big three? Still reading "Starman Jones" by Heinlein. Jones is about to be captured by the natives. Listening to the audiobook of "Time Enough for Love".

Finally finished my history of the Rio Grande Railroad (published in 1962, so there were 34 more years not covered). Think I'll start net on The Chicago L. Also feeling a yen to reread a couple of old Star Trek novels. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Two books on economics both of which I have read > once: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Strangeloves-Game-History-Economic/dp/0140299866 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/False-Economy-Surprising-Economic-History/dp/0141033703/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1505998538&sr=1-1&keywords=false+economy Both these books are about economic history - the former more about the economists themselves but a nice change from physics when you need one |
