Okay, I'll try to check one of those out!! I'll probably read The Andromeda Strain, just because the title caught my attention.
You should definitely check her stuff out. She's one of those authors that latches onto the ethical issues and really makes you think about them. I love it!
She's definitely one of my favorites.
See, I wish I could do that. It just makes me crazy. The only books I can balance is when it's fun vs. school. Since I only pick up the novels for school when I have to, I don't get too lost.
