It's amazing how quickly a book can leave my mind. I just got back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Sweden (with a day in Amsterdam) and can't remember much at all about the books I read on the way over (Speaking in Tongues by Ian McDonald and Now Wait for Last Year by Philip K. Dick). I also read Joseph Ellis's Founding Brothers throughout the trip, finally finishing it on the flight between Stockholm and Amsterdam. I liked the beginning but thought it lacked any real conclusion. On the flight home I read The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster which I enjoyed and got partway through George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones which had been recommended by quite a few people.
