[books] The Queen's Gambit

The Queen's Gambit: A Novel The Queen's Gambit: A Novel by Walter Tevis


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bobby Fischer story; except that Bobby is a "she". Really good stuff, fun, fast read. Predictable ending, but if that is the best I can come up with, it must be pretty good.

[books] Marooned in Realtime

Marooned in Realtime Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great fiction from an accomplished writer. It is not a Fire Upon The Deep, but it is still an extremely compelling and rather fast read. Armchair detective novel - except with statis based time travel.
