Where Has The Time Gone?

Hi all,

Well it seems like it has been over a year since the trio of Steven, Steve and Stevo submitted their first post. It took so long because they could not agree on anything to blog about.

At this point, the only people who read the initial blog were the three of us.

We seldom read novels, but today we feel compelled for some reason to start one and make discussing it the them of this blog.

We are seriously considering re-reading the book, "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell which recounts a Jesuit priest Father Emilio Sandoz' search to make meaning out of the horrendous experiences he had, resulting from a mission in space to make contact with another life form, and subsequently being the only survivor of the mission.

Why are we re-reading it? We are doing so for a couple reasons. Firstly, it was one of the best novels we have read in our life despite the fact that we do not generally like sci-fi books. Secondly, it has been a few years since we have read it, thus we don't remember all the details. Thirdly, we want to read the sequel "Children of God", which will be a difficult task if we can't remember the details of "The Sparrow". Finally, this was a book that all three of my personae enjoyed.

The Sparrow receives high ranks by the three of us, and is second only to "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving.

Ciao for now

Steven, Steve & Stevo
