Just finished Carl Sagan's "Contact." Enjoyable, though the Audible product has several glitches that were enough for them to offer to refund my credit. Nice of them.
The movie is among my favorites, and now that I've finished the book, I think it's among the better page-to-screen treatments. I realize it began life as a proposed screenplay, but I suspect the movie was ultimately very different than the original version.
Reading the book also prompted me to watch the movie again. It's still very good.
I'm now starting LMB's "Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen."
