Coalescent
We met on March 23 2006 and had a lively discussion of Coalescent by Stephen Baxter.

Some people (Alek, Gregory [who doesn't vote], and I think Ignacio) really liked the thread set in the past, and were bored (or annoyed) by the present and future threads. Raja found the whole book bloated, but enjoyed the present and future threads--when the science ideas finally showed up!--more than the past thread.

I gave "coalescent" a 9.5 when I read it. I guess it'll have to be a 9 under Raja's stricter rules...
What's the book for May?
