Still on the road, this time stopping in the great state of Texas.

From Amazon: Top ten editor's picks for 2009 in fantasy/SF - also links to top customer picks.

Via Anchoress - Noah's Ark was Circular.
The ark story is a perpetual favorite among the Christian veterinarians that I know - with the occasional debates over the effects of genetic bottlenecks and how long one could have only two rabbits. (Time typically measured in seconds...) The idea of an ark also shows up repeatedly in SF, although my mind's blanking on all of them except Bulter's Clay's Ark.
The 'circular' ark of the article above reminds me of round buffalo hide boats used by American Indians of the plains for short distance river passage.
