The Rael thing

David Ng has an interesting (and quite positive) review of Houellebecq's latest up at the Voice; I have been itching to read The Possibility of an Island (I absolutely loved The Elementary Particles, actually I've been wanting to reread that as well), picked up a copy last week at the Morningside Bookshop when thwarted on trashy novels but I am not quite sure when I'll have time for it. I like the feeling, though, of having a lot of books I'd like to read and not enough time for them; it is always a sign of encroaching depression when I find myself thinking how impossible it is to find something good to read.
