Still slogging my way through my library borrow - Regenesis by C.J. Cherryh but next up on the library side is the Bio about Margaret Sanger. The other 4 library books after that about the Regency era and Britain during the Napoleonic War.

I'm up to page 298 in Regenesis, but I've been taking my time on this read. I'm going to have to speed it up since it's a physical library borrow.I still don't have a clue about who the shadowy puppet master is yet, but apparently, this has been going on since before Ari Jr. was created and born. But whoever 'they' are, because at this point, it has to be a group, not just one person, if it preceded the original Ari and the Company Wars - which is long before Ari II existed.
I wonder if Reseune continues with its psychogenesis program all the way to 2654 (which is about the date Forty Thousand In Gehenna ends in). Would they continue to replicate the Specials and certain others?
It's getting really good. I'm up to page 440 - 441. It's looking like somehow Defense might have been involved in the first Ari's death.

Just finished all 585 pages of Regenesis today! Yay! It started really getting interesting about halfway in (the first part's a bit of a slow burn but there's enough subtle intrigue happening to engage one's brain that it's attention catching. Then you get about halfway in and it starts picking up and you have even more questions. There's still enough left that it makes me wish for more stories in and around Cyteen/Reseune and the Union side of things. But I still have to read some of the other books on the Alliance side too.
Just added my review here. I'm going one in my LJ which I'll post to my FB. And I actually learned how to italicize in GR. :D
Ok. Finished Archangel's Ascension and I'm 34% into Control's Undoing and started the bio on Margaret Sanger by Miriam Reed, Ph.D. That I borrowed from the library. I'm up to page 11 on that one.
Margaret Sanger is definitely an interesting person who was most definitely ahead of her time socially speaking in terms of health care. And very human. Up to page 35-ish. It's interesting to see the environmental health issues we take for granted today was an uphill battle for people, particularly women, at the turn of the 20th Century. Makes you appreciate the world one lives in today (21st Century). Though apparently the Comstock Laws 'doth' linger in one form or another. Now there's a creepy thought. But you have to respect the people who came before and paved the way for those of us who came after
Had to wait to re-borrow the Margaret Sanger book from my Library since I'd maxed out the extensions the first time, but I'm back on track for that. I'm actually doing a double read. The Margaret Sanger biography and The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon (a Fantasy). On side note, my yearly goodreads challenge is nearly finished, so I may have to extend it. We shall see.
