So, I'm super late on posting my gift. Excuses aside, these books really made up for my week. With all the power outages and no internet, I had plenty of time to get into these books. I'm already over halfway through Supertoys Last All Summer Long, and I, of course, love it. You hit this nail right on the head. I just picked it up, read the back cover, and before I knew it, I was three chapters in... I figured I'd be reading The Minority Report first, but it'll have to wait. And of course, last but not least, Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 A Space Odyssey.
