Lust, Geoff Ryman
I read the majority of this in the surreal space-time that was my flight back from Tokyo. This is a strange coming-of-age story of a late-30's gay scientist framed around a twist on a common time-travel theme. Our protaganist can call up a 'carbon-copy' of anyone he likes, provided he lusts after them. Honestly, i think the book went on a little long. I liked the characters, and the parallel weave of moral-telling through the scientific research storyline, even when it was a bit heavy-handed. Good reading when you're stuck on a long plane flight - i wonder what my neighbors thought of the cover.
