This month I've been rereading Halo: Primordium. Good book but just as depressing as I remember. I've also started working my way through the OpenLDAP Admin manual trying to wrap my head around LDAP.

So what have you all been reading? What did you think of it?

I am mostly reading it because the ending of Mostly Harmless left me sad and I wanted to read more stories involving the characters.

I kinda liked the bleak ending, it reinforced the theme of cosmic scale. I liked the Mark II, I liked the whole tidy Beta wrap up. I can't imagine a very satisfying way to continue past that point.

The don't dislike the ending of Mostly Harmless. It's a very tidy wrap up with how earth finally gets destroyed once and for all, along with the main characters. However, that being said, I was glad to read about their further adventures in the same universe.
