Tim is the Manager of Eagle Harbor Books. Tim is originally from Omaha, Nebraska and despite frequent wanderings across the western half of the United States, repeatedly finds himself back in the Puget Sound area. Once an aspiring astrophysicist, he instead turned to history, gender theory and writing. He has worked with books for years, first at Borders and now at Eagle Harbor Books. In his spare time, he writes, walks around the land, cooks, spends too much time with his music, and tries to teach himself new languages and instruments. He would be happy to converse with you about matters historical, meteorological, technological, astronomical, philosophical and theological.

Although Iain Banks is best known for his Culture series, this stand-alone is almost more engrossing. Banks’ trademark style is here in full force, dropping you into an unfamiliar world where finding your bearings is half the fun. A (mostly) hard sci-fi space opera of the highest caliber. ~ Tim

After starting with de Lint’s most recent stuff, I finally went back to the one that made a name for him in the fantasy genre. It may take a little while to really get going, but the momentum is relentless—by the end, I was flying through the pages. A great starting point for anyone interested in contemporary fantasy and its literary potential. ~ Tim

Astronomy has always been a passion of mine, but I don’t think I’ve come across a book that does a better job of conveying the wonder it inspires. The subject may seem almost mundane to some, but Berman deftly demonstrates the sun’s (literal and figurative) centrality to our existence and the mystery and awe that often surround it. A fascinating, accessible book. ~ Tim
