The Bookaholic

I snuck a fiction book into my bag. I was cleaning off the table, registering books at Bookcrossing, and realized Variable Star by Robert A. Heinlein and Spider Robinson was at the bottom of a pile. Oh my! I had not read this book.

Interesting how the book came about. Apparently, the outline had been languishing in the back of a closet or something and when Mrs. H passed away somebody came across it and decided it was a story that should be written. Kewl. I’ll say it certainly is written in the style of Heinlein. Robinson has his tone nailed, including the morality of a guy stuck in the 50s trying ever so hard to be hip to the sexual revolution. Fortunately for this feminist, Robinson is much more subtle about it than the Grand Master was, so I’m rather enjoying the book.

I’ll finish it up today or tomorrow, register it, then send it off into the wild.

I need to find some rockin’ places to release books. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears.
