Heather

Heather is a fan of quality sci-fi / fantasy, mysteries, and the obscure. She does read young adult novels, always searching for one that isn't like all the others. She will also be the first to try to remind people that manga is not just for kids or teens, please give it a chance.

Alan Lightman presents a creator of a different kind with Mr G. He is thoughtful and distant, yet becomes keenly aware of our personal struggles. Riddled with physics, astronomy, anatomy, and rhetoric, this title was definitely a worthwhile and thought-provoking read.
