I would like to do something short for at least the next book or two, something that we can do in no more than two sessions. And since we were thinking of doing something sciencey this time, I’ll vote for “Your Inner Fish”. It’s short, and I’ve already read it so I know it is good.

Sounds like a plan. I want to do something short too.
