i had a marvelous time book shopping yesterday afternoon - i picked up 3 books for $3.24 apiece from big w, and 2 for $7.99 each from angus & robertson. i can't help myself - each time i start making a little headway on the books i own that i haven't read yet, i go and buy some new ones! it's a compulsion of the nicest kind, and i'm guaranteeing that i'll never have to ask myself the question "so, what do i read next?" i like being spoiled for choice where books are concerned!!

check out the back cover blurb for "gravity":

"dr emma watson, a brilliant research physician, has been training for the mission of a lifetime: to study living organisms in space. jack mccallum, emma's estranged husband, has shared her dream of space travel, but a medical condition has grounded him. now he must watch from the sidelines...

the missions aboard the space station turns into a nightmare when a culture of single-celled organisms begins to regenerate out of control - and infects the crew with agonizing and fatal results. emma struggles to contain the deadly microorganisms, while back home jack and NASA work against the clock to bring her home. but there will be no rescue. with the contagion now threatening earth, the astronauts are quarantined in space, where they are dying one by one."

sadly, this book just isn't working for me. this is good news for my ever-increasing bc pile though, as it means someone who'll really like it might find it!!
