Those folks who say that Simon Hayes' Hal Spacejock: Second Course is even better than his Hal Spacejock are right. That is one funny sequel. For some reason his robot pal Clunk reminds me of Bender from Futurama. I don't know why; Clunk is much more ethical and loyal, but every time he speaks, I think of Bender.

I also just finished a short story recommended by kennyc, "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" by Roger Zelazny. It's about a poet/researcher on Mars and his investigations of and entanglement in Martian culture (it was written in 1963, when folks still had hopes of intelligent life on Mars). It's a wonderful and poetic tale with lots of heart, and I can see why it's one of Kenny's favorites.
