First off, the noticeable lack of brass these days is frightening, and I would attribute Genesis's decline to pop to Steve Hackett's departure and Mike Rutherford's attempts to cash in on Phil's solo career. (Don't forget about Mike + the Mechanics.) These days, I listen more to stuff like Modest Mouse.

Secondly, as far as Asimov goes, I'd personally recommend "The Singing Bell" and "The Evitable Conflict"... two of my favorites. You have more time on your hands, I'd gladly suggest "Something Wicked this Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury and "Ubik" by Philip K. Dick.

Vonnegut is gr8. "Cat's Cradle" and "Breakfast for Champions" are two of the best books ever written. Quotable as hell.

Anyway, yeah.

G'day, sir.
