Just finished reading "Downbelow Station." I enjoyed it, thanks for the recommendation! It sure took a long time for the book to get going -- 200 pages of setting the scene and introducing/developing the characters (and there were an awful lot of characters) before much of anything started happening. But after that, the pace of the book accelerated until by the last hundred pages, I couldn't put it down! One thing I kept expecting to happen in the book that never happened was for the 'downers' to reveal some sort of power that would influence events dramatically. But in retrospect, that would have been rather cliche.

I was hoping for my next book to read "Ready Player One" (recommended by wiki forum member Sharol46), but after two months on the wait list for the library's 16 e-copies, I have moved up from #149 to #22...so -- almost there anyway! My family was at the movies last week (to watch "Justice League") and they already were running a trailer for the Spielberg film version of Ready Player One. I tried to plug my ears and hide my eyes at the same time -- these darn trailers these days reveal so much of the films that you might as well not even go see it, because so much has already been spoiled by the trailer.
