Authors Choice

Hmmm…I have to admit, I have nothing on this one haha I feel so bad! I’m hoping by putting it out there that others will, though. I did find a list of books that have stars and planetary systems mentioned in them. You can find that list HERE. Sorry that I couldn’t be of more help! 

Critic Etelka Lehoczky says The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage – Sydney Padua’s rollicking graphic novel about computing pioneers Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace – transforms punch cards and little brass cogs into the stuff of legend.

Ricardo Piglia’s new novel is a brainy, postmodern, sometimes funny take on the classic detective novel. Critic Michael Schaub says:

“It’s tempting to compare Piglia to any number of like-minded authors — he has the skewed but perceptive vision of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon, and the novel clearly owes a debt to the American noir authors of the last century. But nothing in Target in the Night is anything less than original.”

(submitted in a way through comments by: bitch-youresupposedtosayjerk)- I think this quote is great too! 

Hi! You posted a book about a month or so ago and I can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called, I remember it was about a couple living in Budapest (I believe) during the invasion of the Soviet Union, or something along those lines. If this sounds familiar to you I would really appreciate it if you could give me the name, thanks so much!
