  • What book is currently on your nightstand?
  • Who is the author?
  • What genre?
  • How do you like it?
  • Would you recommend it to others?

Probably lots of bleed-over from the last week since it was posted so late, but...

I just finished KPS and loved it! It was fun in a "this entire thing is fucking ridiculous" sort of way that Scalzi (and the book itself) fully acknowledges.

"I lift things" started infiltrating my spoken phrases without me realizing it and I was like "wtf‽" when I realized.

Have you checked out "Fuzzy Nation", "Red Shirts", or the "Lock In" series? All fun stories by Scalzi in similar veins (Lock In is a bit more serious, but not like The Interdependency).

I have!

I've yet to find anything Scalzi has written that I'm not a fan of.

Another less known gem is Agent To The Stars ... Had me laughing in a way usually reserved for re-reads of The HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy!
