I recently read The Atom Station; not nearly as good, but with its moments.

I come up with all these schemes, but in reality I'm always just going to take up the book that appeals to me at the moment I'm choosing. As to Iceland, I only know Halldor Laxness. I might read some more of him soon. My reading ideas never amount to anything.
