But seriously, I have found that my brain likes to cycle between inputting information, ideas and images and outputting literature. I'm probably lucky I've made it this long before the old noodle blew up on me.
Anyway, taking suggestions for summer books and movies. I'm looking for delicious science, art and historical stuff--nonfiction being the mental equivalent of pumpkin pie. That stuff puts bulk on, fast!

Here's an idea for you, how about reading ALL the non-fiction and fiction in our Brighton Shock souvenir book? (if you haven't already) I haven't done that yet but I know there's some terrific stuff in there!!!
My favorite non-fiction is a) anything my Mary Roach, and b) anything by David Quammen. I highly recommend Quammen's The Song of the Dodo. It looks hefty but is a surprisingly easy (and yet mind-bending) read. And oh, the bio-based SF that will come out of it! (Hm. Maybe I need to go reread...)
I can vouch for anything by Quammen. Many of his books are collections of his essays for various magazines. Although I love Song of the Dodo, it is incredibly lenghtly. The collections are nice b/c you can pick and choose various essays, fit them in to your busy schedule, etc.
These are great ideas, guys! You are the best. :)
