I just finished a couple of sf books--Marrow by Robert Reed and The Star Beast by Robert A. Heinlein. Marrow was pretty heavy, and I'm not sure I believe the behavior of the nearly immortal characters. The immense time scale just didn't feel right to me. The Star Beast was a re-read of something I hadn't read in decades. Light and frothy and incredibly funny in places--Heinlein at his best and most entertaining. Highly recommended.
