Story
Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realize it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet. Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan.

Story
On the idyllic island of Lute, every seventh summer, seven people die. No more, no less. Lute and its inhabitants are blessed, year after year, with good weather, good health, and good fortune. So it’s only fair that every seven years, on the day of the tithe, the island’s gift is honored. Nina Treadway is new to The Day. A Florida girl by birth, she became a Lady through her marriage to Lord Treadway, whose family has long protected the island. Nina’s heard about The Day, of course. It's all superstitious nonsense. Then The Day begins. And it's a day of nightmares.

one of the best, most engaging stories I've read. wonderfully written from an authentic perspective. I even bought the hard cover and I never do that.

the reader has an odd affect of pausing between words for no reason. its distracting and sometimes frustrating.

Story
John Varley's monumental trilogy - Titan, Wizard, and Demon - has achieved cult status, hailed as a modern triumph of the imagination by critics and fans. It begins with humankind's exploration of a massive satellite orbiting Saturn. It culminates in a shocking discovery: the satellite is a giant alien being. Her name is Gaea. Her awesome interior is mind-boggling - because it is a mind. A mind that calls out to explorers...and transforms all who enter.

bit too technical for me
Reviewed: 03-31-16
What did you like best about Titan? What did you like least?
i like the creativity however it was too technical for me to listen to while i'm at work bcuz so much of the book was just describing the torus in such a way that i felt i needed to be an architect to really visualize what john varley was trying to to convey
What about Allyson Johnson’s performance did you like?
i liked that she accurately fluctuated her voice depending on which character she was reading from.
Could you see Titan being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
yes. me! (why not?) *shrugs*
Any additional comments?
nope
