At least it's not a nude scene!

Please see David Gerrold's The Man Who Folded Himself for the definitive take on the idea of a time traveler having sex with his/her self.

IKEA built the sets for Stanley Kubrick to use for the fake moon landing he directed! Here is the proof! The signs are there! Do your homework people!

It is a great book, and for me, what really makes it stand out is Mark Watney's dark humor. Freeman would be ideal. Or maybe even Mark Ruffalo? But Damon can probably pull if off.

As a long time fan of the Fantastic Four who is constantly disappointed with everything FF in recent memory, I recommend the comic book Black Science which, I think, captures the best what the FF can be, just without the FF.

Ah, ixnay on the oisionpay . . .

Currently reading Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton after several false starts. I'm really going to finish it this time; already over the hump.

I know right. Who has an entire bottle of hydrogen peroxide at the movie theater?

Take that fangbanger!

Agreed. The parts with young Adama are my least favorite.

Caprica as the prequel to Battlestar Galactica is the best one I can think of and even still it's kind of meh.

I think an honorable mention should go to David Gerrold. His episodes of Star Trek were cool, but his novel The Man Who Folded Himself is super awesome weird.

Good one! I especially like this:

Amazon reviewer d-Case!!! convinced me not to buy a Whirlpool WTW4950XW washing machine.

It's A Road Trip!

Well, this is $13,00 (w/o the type cover) and the most expensive iPad is $929, so I guess if you are rounding to the nearest $1K they are the same price?

Well sure. But the thing is I like strange.

I really wanted to like Xenocide after thoroughly enjoying Speaker, but I found the sections on Path uninteresting. The Path story is a real slow burn and the big reveal I found disappointing.

I felt like Children of the Mind wasn't weird in the interesting, mind expanding way. Giving his characters super powers without even a quarter-ass explanation read like empty wish fulfillment to me—and not wish fulfillment for the reader, just for the author. If you read it as meta-fiction I think it's a statement…

I'd agree with you in the progression from Ender's Game to Speaker For the Dead—better and weirder—but the next two, Xenocide and Children of the Mind, were disappointing. While Speaker expanded the Enderverse considerably in unexpected and wonderful directions, the last two sequels just colored in detail.
