character studies of intellectual ogres

Over on Conversational Reading, there is an excerpt from Golem Song by Marc Estrin. It made me think of Bill's ideal living space, except his place would have more jazz, and the chracter being described turns out to be Bill's antithesis. Oops. Anyway, the Darconville's Cat reference was great, as Bill was on about that book for ages. I've never read any Estrin, although i now recall reluctantly scanning both of his previous books out as voids, as i wanted to buy each of them as they came through the bookstore, except I was broke at the time.

Just working on 2007's TBR list...
