Same Old

[greenstorm]

My life resolves itself into an endless round, work, food, sleep, unpacking, and occasionally something thrown in for spice. Today's spice: awesome dress from Banshee in the Drive. If I make it to Sin City this weekend, it's comin' with me.

Last week's spice: book called Glory Season by David Brin. I really like David Brin. This book is the best of his I've read to date, not as action-noir-adventury as Kiln People but wonderfully muffled and ambiguous and just generally exactly like a real person's story. I'm sad to leave the characters, though I have to cause the book's over.

In my own life, the action and adventure come down to: can we fit all the stuff into the office, or will we need to get rid of something? Is Sunny pregnant? Tune in to Greenie's livejournal tomorrow to find out!

Glory Season rings a bell. In fact, I think it might be a title that I've been trying and failing to remember for years. Can you give a quick plot or setting summary?

Society with seasonal 'heat' cycles at opposite ends of the years and women can clone themselves (sparking) at the one end, at the other end sex results in what we consider to be normal babies. A girl and her twin get caught up in the first contact with the rest of the human race, sort of.

Hm, that's not ringing a strong bell. *wikpedias it*. Ahah. Now if I'd just looked it up before, I would have recognised the cover. I read the first chapter standing in the bookstore but didn't end up buying it for some reason, which would be why the title caught my brain. Brin is consistently good though, so I'll have to read it sometime.

Alas, that other title I've been trying to remember will remain elusive.
