Sourdough by Robin Sloan - King Bob - 10-02-2019 The second book by the author of Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore - which I will here once more highly recommend. It's about a robotics programmer in San Francisco who becomes a baker, but there's also a mysterious cultural group, a secret farmer's market, and some women all named Lois. Entertaining, but not as good as his previous one IMO. He does write a very readable book, and occasionally tosses out a great line. Both Harry Potter and the Grateful Dead are mentioned. RE: Sourdough by Robin Sloan - Drunk Monk - 10-02-2019 Sourdough, HP & GD are three of my fav things.   Any blondes?  Swordfights? RE: Sourdough by Robin Sloan - King Bob - 10-02-2019 No, but here are goats. And robots. And some mocking of Soylet-sipping programmers. RE: Sourdough by Robin Sloan - Drunk Monk - 10-02-2019 i don't like goats.  they got weird pupils. RE: Sourdough by Robin Sloan - Drunk Monk - 10-03-2019 RE: Sourdough by Robin Sloan - King Bob - 10-03-2019 Actually he mentions that - the line was (loose quote), "Goats are always giving side-eye." Someone in our neighborhood rented some goats for weed trimming last year and they escaped. They actually managed to cross the Alameda without incident.
