That Evolution book gave me nightmares LOL :]

Whoa. Best list ever.

WANT ALL THE PRECIOUSES.

That Evolution book is awesome. It's really speculative, both in the past (what if there had been intelligent dinosaurs?) as in the future (how will future evolutions of humanoids look like and act). It's sounds more campy than it is, it's actually quite decently researched.

I think I'm one of the few people I've ever met that enjoyed that book haha. It left me shaking my head for a week or two..I felt verklempt about the ending of that book. Did you? I remember annoying my husband "but but..we're just going to be all gone..."

I loved that! You're the first person I met that has actually read it!

It's even a case study for my thesis.

Seriously, I love that he actually thought how we would evolve. All that sci-fi out there, and yet millions of year in the future, humans still tend to act and look like humans. Lame! And not really thought true when you think about it.

I read a decent bit of Baxter a few years ago and then stopped because he was SO incredibly depressing IMO. After each book I would walk around in a daze for a week haha. It seems like each book..each series he's just obsessed with the ending of everything doesn't it?

I haven't actually read much of him (my library is very randomly stocked when it comes to sci-fi), but I really liked this one. It was depressing yes, but I did like the life goes on sentiment it had, and found that strangely uplifting.
