I can never remember the name and author of the books i read by strangely enough i do remember when i read the book. This is my way of downsizing - I don't have to keep the book to remember reading it.

The Age of Miracles - Karen Thompson Walker

A story about a how a young girl survives the changes when the earth starts to rotate slower and slower so much so that days and nights last for weeks.

 This is a easy read and a nice tween story. I wish it would have had more scientific information about what would happen if the earth slowed down, but i still enjoyed the book.

The Dispossessed - Ursula K LeGuin

This book is about a society that breaks away from the mainstream society on earth and settles on the moon, does not have much communication with earth and then one mans journey to earth and what he finds.

 I really liked the ideas in this book but i was kind of a long boring read.

Forever Peace - Joe Haldeman

This book is about a how humans find the secret to everlasting peace.

 I am a Joe Halderman fan, i really liked Forever War and was not disappointed by this book.  The ideas were great, and i thought it had enough current issues mixed with future issues to make the book really interesting.  After all, science fiction  is just a setting, not a plot.
