Thanks for the suggestion Louis, Nexus does sound interesting from the descriptions I've read online, and readers' responses. I have to admit though, at 464 pages, as the first in a trilogy, I'd be disinclined to finish it; however, feel free to choose this for November's book. We needn't all agree on a title, and not everyone has to read it. I've missed a few books here and there. Sometimes it's fun to just hear others try to describe a book in detail to someone who has no idea of a novel's contents (besides, it might give me a chance to finally read The Atrocity Archives!).<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501388968093_5710"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501388968093_5824">Best,</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501388968093_5764"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1501388968093_5711">Mike <br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, July 29, 2017 10:49 PM, Boogalouis <boogalouis@gmail.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv0735101833"><div><span class="yiv0735101833">While I'm still interested in Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, I just heard a glowing review for a book called Nexus by Ramez Naam<br class="yiv0735101833" clear="none"></span><span class="yiv0735101833"><br class="yiv0735101833" clear="none"></span><span class="yiv0735101833">Summery: <br class="yiv0735101833" clear="none"></span><span class="yiv0735101833">In the near future, the experimental nano-drug Nexus can link human together, mind to mind.
