Ha. I tried to warn you. That scene seemed very out of place — why he went into it like that. I’m not sure why. But I agree the rest of book was pretty entertaining and captivating. Glad you liked it. The author’s 2nd novel The Painter — was also pretty good but also had a healthy dose of male ego-ness to it. But no scene like that!

Hi Susan! I finished Dog Stars last night and basically came to the same conclusion as you. Good story and characters, but that sex scene! Puke. Was that for the benefit of the male readers, perhaps? Totally unnecessary. But that was my only complaint about the entire book, so….

Yeah Bryan I know what you mean. I think you’ll like The Martian whenever you see it, though I’m not too sure about the Steve Jobs flick. There’s good parts to it.

Ha. I know the sex scene you speak of. I didn’t think it was necessary to include it either. I agree totally! Ugh. Otherwise Dog Stars was pretty good. You will be blown away by the Donner party book! You must get it! You will also like The Martian movie.

The Donner party book is The Indifferent Stars Above. It’s unreal!

I also would like to see Steve Jobs, but probably won’t see either until they come out on DVD. I haven’t been to the theater in a while.
