They call this section, "Futureland." I seem to have a bottomless appetite for this stuff, assuming the premises are interesting enough, and I love the sound of Greybeard's premise! It sounds like a Star Trek episode, a TNG titled "When the Bough Breaks." One of my favorites; if you end up liking this book you may want to watch it and compare the two.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187854108656107958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-85200938480198058142014-02-01T12:58:36.915-05:002014-02-01T12:58:36.915-05:00I just finished THE PARIS WIFE, by Paula McLaine, ...I just finished THE PARIS WIFE, by Paula McLaine, a fictional account of Ernest Hemingway's first wife that I found fascinating.

It's interesting/well written but the subject a little hard to digest, especially because I know darker stuff is coming my way (!!) In the meantime, I started a light read: The Rosie Project, which is actually pretty charming/upbeat.Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848249911635132594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-58410445283491587492014-01-31T16:36:57.130-05:002014-01-31T16:36:57.130-05:00I had a similar reaction...
