Reading Olympos

The main character have just shouted "But then they are all going to die", I sit on the edge on my cafe chair, with a cappuccino flying in one hand, and barely registering some Italians staring mystified at my strange behavior. I drop some coffee on my t-shirt. While doing a half hearted attempt to salvage my t-shirt, and trying to continue reading my friend Pietro appears and sits down, and now I have no idea of what happens to the poor Greeks. But I did learn a trick about reading socket connections which I had not thought of, in the project I am working on.

If you don't want to be in similar situations then don't read Dan Simmons "Olympos".
