Darmok and Jalad, at home

English ivy will absolutely burrow into the cracks in the mortar and bricks. Boston ivy though is relatively harmless to brick and concrete buildings, it uses little sucker pads that don't burrow into the cracks. The school i work at has a pretty healthy covering of Boston ivy, it gets some amazing colors in the fall and the crows enjoy being able to wall-walk while eating the berries.

Sentient spiders

I read A deepness in the Sky years ago and loved it, and just today got a copy of Children of Time :)

While not Spider related, A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge is really good. It's sort of the prequel to A Deepness in the Sky.

Such amazing gameplay, my friend and I really enjoyed it but holy crap is it fucked up. The end of their previous game (A Way Out) was also very fucked up. Even with the emotional trauma, I'm looking forward to Split Fiction.
