Same... The sad thing though, is that I remember the PBS cartoon based on it really well.

As I recall, the point of that book was that Okonkwo was kinda the opposite of awesome. Yes, he had a bunch of wives, and yes, he was well-respected among his peers - especially because he was essentially a self-made man, but he was also a vain, murderous asshole, with a particular tendency for murdering his own…

Could we at least consider the possibility that the so-called "robot arm" is actually a gauntlet? Near as I can tell, Odinson's new design theme is just "Thor exactly as he was, but way more naked and sans hammer."

I've always loved that a group of owls is called a parliament.

I'd scarcely call either of these explanations rational, but the magic system in Unsounded is very unique and creative, and the fourth book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle - creatively titled Inheritance - is the only fantasy book I've ever seen that took the scientific fact that matter equals energy into…

Jeez, I remember that. You have my sympathy, friend.

I'm going to go ahead and take this moment to pimp out the wonderful Laser Time Podcast Network - a group of podcasts made by a bunch of hilarious, foul-mouthed, and nerdy pop culture enthusiasts. I've been a fan of their contributors' work since their introduction into the podcasting world, the hilarious and sadly…
