There's no plot, no beginning, no end, no heroes, no villains, no drama, and no joy. Just musings and thoughts about earth and space. A very quick read at under 150 pages, I recommend it. (Orbital by Samantha Harvey).

This year's Booker winner, Orbital, is hard to describe. It's a novel about (sort of) the experiences of 4 Astronauts and 2 Cosmonauts one-day, sixteen-orbit around the Earth spinning below them.
