Cryoburn
Miles is on Kibou-daini to check out cryostasis corporations. I would like to know more about Nefertiti, the pet sphinx.
Words I Had To Look Up:
defenestrating (pg. 23)-- I ran across this word TWICE in the last book I read, but forgot to enter it. I'm SURE I've looked it up before, though. I ALSO just saw it in the current book I'm reading, which is book two of the book I read before this one, FYI. Oh, defenestration is the act of throwing someone (or something) out of a window. Good to know!

"Blurf...?" said Cordelia, her eyes springing wide.Quote:
How did a man manage to be both gormless and patronizing simultaneously?Quote:
"Er...what exactly do you mean by dating? In this context."
"Screwing, dear," Cordelia replied, in her flattest Betan tones.
"...Ah." He added after a moment, "Thank you for the clarification."Read:
