Location: USA		Dustydigger - Sorry to hear about health and family problems. Seems you do get more than your share!

Finished with The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle, one of those books gleaned from the home town library when I was very young. I have no idea why this one left such a mark on my memory. Reading it now, I realized that better than half of what went on in that story sailed right past the kid I was - I couldn't have been more than 13 years old at the time. Must have been the epic scale of disaster, even though it was described in the driest and most scientific of prose. This book is serious old school hard sci-fi, one of the most unusual 'first contact' stories ever written, and was an interesting reread.

Still in reread land, though for a different motive (I'm ever so slowly working my way through the Hugo winners), The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.
