    How did choosing title (a palindrome) figure into plot (eg. centered by lucky 7)? N has a modern exploitation in Ukraine: Operation Z (Hey N (Nazi)! Bang, you're Zed!)

    It is so interesting to see Matt being introduced as anything but a part of Critical Role.

    I love Pratchett's work with a passion, but he really need to stop writing when his disease made his books read like increasingly bad fanfiction. UNSEEN ACADEMICALS was the last time he read like himself.

    What’s wild is that Parable of the Sower has come true for many people migrating away from where they live now. The amount of specific realistic detail in her writing is outstanding.

    Wonder who he meant. I suspect he misremembered. Both William de Worde from the Truth and a couple of major characters from the Watch appear in Monstrous Regiment.

    Astonished he said ‘Tudor London’. Clearly he is a bit of an authority on the Discworld and Ankh-Morpork (…) but for many, many reasons I’d have focused on early-ish 19th century London

    I was new to Pasadena many years back and I happened upon an old cemetery near my house. I walked through it and discovered most of the tombstones were of distinguished people from our community. Octavia E. Butler, author amongst them. I had never heard of her although I really enjoy science fiction. That very same day I looked her up and started enjoying all her works! I understand her book Kindred is finally being adapted to screen!

    And the book he said he had just started, Going Postal, is one of his best. And the Wee Free men are one of his funniest and cleverest creations, except for Nanny Ogg, The librarian, CMOT Dibbler, The luggage (made of Sapient Pearwood), Binky (Deaths horse), Nobby Nobbs, Sam Vimes, Cheery Little bottom of the Watch, Angua von Uberwald, Lord Vetinari, Mustrum Ridcully, Ponder Stibbons, Rincewind, Susan Sto Helit (Death’s granddaughter), Granny Weatherwax…. Help! I can’t stop, they are all great!

    Ok, that's too much bloat for me then. Gotta cut my losses instead of now having to keep up with all the spin offs in addition to the increasing amount of bloat in the main line. I'm signing off. All good things have an end. Things that don't invariably stop being good at some point and i'm afraid that point has come to the honorverse.

    It's one of life's biggest ironies that you're not very appreciated until after you leave this world. We're dropping flowers on her gravesite now (so to speak). I wish i was aware of her literary works when she was still alive for some odd reason. The same thing i could say about James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston.

    Sanderson’s The Way Of Kings is the fantasy novel equivalent of the band Rush’s 2112 album. Straight from the heart, completely disregarding if it sells or not and the “rules” of how their perspective art should be structured.

    I stopped reading WOT when it got it into the uncomfortable spanking. This was book six. I liked the Aeil, especially 'The Shadow Rising' which came down as an awesome book. I couldn't get beyond a certain point because it was juvenile nonsense. Very tedious, very silly and very repetitive
