Friendly neighbourhood biologist. I love reading just about any genre but gravitate most towards fantasy!

    On boredom

    One of the biggest qualifications for long-distance space travel is a high tolerance for boredom. Bowman and Poole seem to be doing OK with their routine, but when I tell you I would have chopped Poole into a million pieces and shot them out an airlock I'm not kidding. I am TERRIBLE at being bored and I read and knit BECAUSE I am bad at being bored. I would never in a million years be able to handle living in a tin can for months at a time flying to Jupiter, I would tear my hair out in frustration!!!! I need NOVELTY and a good space flight should have very, VERY few exciting bits because exciting probably equals bad. It is a great regret of my life that although I find space travel really fascinating, I know that there are many reasons I would actually despise it.

    This was perfectly average. Nothing spectacular but it kept me reading and I didnt manage to predict the ending Though I was underwhelmed by the resolution
