Every time I actually get around to reading Connie Willis, she reminds me why her career has been successful. This novel was nominated for the Hugo, the Nebula and the Arthur C Clarke awards won the Locus Award for best science fiction novel in 2002.

Highly recommended...
How about that!? I dug around in my TBRS pile and lo and behold I found a copy of Passage by Connie Willis! It sounded vaguely familiar to me, but I've no idea how long I've actually had it. It's both pretty big and pretty interesting sounding! I haven't yet actually begun reading the short story collection that I'd picked for my next book. I think I'll decide on which one to go with next this weekend.

Thanks Caleb, for the recommendation!
