This month I’ve been rereading Halo: Primordium. Good book but just as depressing as I remember. I’ve also started working my way through the OpenLDAP Admin manual trying to wrap my head around LDAP.

So what have you all been reading? What did you think of it?

    The jokes aren’t as great, nor is the writing, specifically compared to Douglas Adams’ work. However, it isn’t bad, and pretty OK when consumed in the form of an audiobook. I am mostly reading it because the ending of Mostly Harmless left me sad and I wanted to read more stories involving the characters.

      I kinda liked the bleak ending, it reinforced the theme of cosmic scale. I liked the Mark II, I liked the whole tidy Beta wrap up. I can’t imagine a very satisfying way to continue past that point.

        The don’t dislike the ending of Mostly Harmless. It’s a very tidy wrap up with how earth finally gets destroyed once and for all, along with the main characters. However, that being said, I was glad to read about their further adventures in the same universe.
