The Big Front Yard discussion

Apologies, Fred. I didn't get much reading done in February. I read no Simak. Nothing. None. Nada. Nope.

I think we should take a break in March, too, then return in April and read one of the big ones, Way Station.

Way Station is the Simak book I've always most wanted to read and I'm really looking forward to it.

Sound okay?

Perfect. I just got a new book for my birthday called The Sound Book. It's by Trevor Cox, an audio engineer and concert hall designer / acoustician and is about various sounds from around the world; stuff like sand dunes that moan and a sewer that holds the world record for the longest reverb trail - over a minutes long, I think. So I'll be nerding out on that one.

I'd still like your thoughts on Simak's short, A Death in the House. I have more to say on it, but didn't want to until I heard what you did. It's a super-quick read so maybe you can squeeze it sometime in March.
