I read Giant by Edna Ferber last year and really enjoyed it. I’m going to check out So Big. The Expanse sounds like something I would like as well. Thanks for the recommendations Jeremy.

I remember loving So Big and other Ferber books. Thanks for inspiring me to reread them. I'm gonna go get So Big.

Is "going along with my whims" a direct nod to Alan Jacobs or was that coincidental?

Indeed it is! Good catch! I've had that phrase in my head since reading his work many years ago.

Been meaning to read The Expanse for awhile, the show was intriguing but maybe lost it's way - but yes, great characters, love Bobbie, and Chrisjen, and Drummer.

Chrisjen is definitely another favorite. She's just great. SUCH good characters all around.

Need to get back into the Expanse series. Read Leviathan Wakes as a beach read years ago, enjoyed it, but failed to add book two afterwards. And book 3 (Abaddon’s Gate) is on my list as a Locus winner.
