Leaving home without carrying the book you're reading? No problem*, just grab a copy of it on OpenLibrary!
* sure, "if it is there", which many recent books aren't, but it worked for me just now ;-)
@marado Oh, that plot introduction sounds actually funny. :-) Enjoy, mate!
@lyse To be fair, thischas been a go/don't-go to me for a while. I have wanted to read some Aldiss for a good while, but the first of his books I've read (Cryptozoic!), while an entertaining reading, didn't really convince me to the point of making me want to seek more of his books. But now, several years later, I was browsing a book called 501 Must Read Books and Hothouse was there... at the spur of the moment I checked on the local library's catalog and the book was there so I decided to grab it, then I've read it's wikipedia page and started second guessing the decision... and now that I've started reading it, I'm quite enjoying it. Who knows if my thoughts will change again before I finish it!
