dsrtao: dsr as a LEGO minifig (punk)
Item One. Random inanimate objects attack me. In a room with a clear floor, excepting only a laundry basket, I will trip over the basket.

Item Two. Everyone else reads the shampoo labels in the shower, too. Right? Because they are words in a row and there aren't any waterproof books in the shower.

(The perfect electronic book reader will also be waterproof, and grippy, and perhaps have little hole for a hook so you can hang it on the wall of the shower. That would be dangerous -- I might not come out of the bath for hours.)

_Resonance_, Chris Dolley

Really good and I haven't heard of it before. To say just about anything about this book constitutes a massive spoiler, except to say that it offers an excellent reason for obsessive-compulsive behavior, and is a beautiful example of storytelling with a limited cast of characters: one major viewpoint character, a woman who becomes more important to him over the course of the book, and a few people with dialogue. Similar to Ken Grimwood's _Replay_, in a way.
