-----------------
Passengers - Robert Silverberg 4* Liked quite a bit and has stuck with me. Passengers are aliens that take over humans at random times.
-----------------
A Boy and His Dog - Harlan Ellison 4.5* I found it revolting and good. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The revolting: rape, food sources. The good: The apocalyptic setting, the twists.
I wouldn't recommend it for everyone and I wouldn't add it to my favorites list but I enjoyed it much more the second time around. And as usual I can't say anything because it would be spoilers. Wait... I will say a boy and his dog (as the title suggests) are in neutral territory when they realize ... no nvmd why would I spoil any of it?
I can't wait to read it again in 4-5 years when I forget everything.

Houston, Houston, Do you Read? - James Tiptree, Jr - DNF - People in a spacecraft with chickens. Narrator drugged, he thinks. I have no idea what he is talking about or why.
