Makes me want to read the first edition
- De Erica en 06-23-23
The purity and essence of etiquette made clear in this book.
Revisado: 01-18-25
I believe this should be played for every young child at night before they go to bed. perhaps required learning or revisiting with the latest edition in high school. I believe a lot more people would be more polite if they were introduced to what politeness looks like and that was done superbly and this edition of Emily posts etiquette. if you ever read this keep up the good work! We need more stuff like this to keep us going in this society that's ever-changing.

A Fascinating Exploration of Character
- De Ray Jay Edwards en 09-09-16
Well written but pretty dark
Revisado: 11-13-24
Trying not to give out spoilers... this was an interesting perspective for Dr. Watson & why he no longer had his Mary with him when Holmes returned from the 'grave.' While well-written and thoughtfully plotted, it was too dark for my tastes.

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

F Bombs away!

One of the few John Skalzi flops. It was like talking to someone who thinks saying the F word makes their speach compelling and every argument right.

Historia
When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.

Historia
After interstellar con man Rex Nihilo hijacks a cargo freighter on a whim, he decides that he, and his long-suffering robot sidekick Sasha, have found their calling as space pirates. But when the ship's cargo turns out to be a cryogenically frozen religious fanatic who holds the secret to a vast galactic conspiracy, Rex and Sasha find themselves on the run from real pirates - as well as agents of the oppressive Malarchy, crazy space cultists, and the Ursa Minor mafia. If Rex is going to get out of this jam alive, he might just have to save the galaxy - again.

Historia
Piloted by a six-year-old girl, the godlike Skalm guards the Districts of TASC. Her family is long dead. Her adopted father is a synthetic copy of an alien, her nanny an artificial mind connected via subspace to every part of the globe, feeding the young girl information, finding prey to satiate her growing thirst. But the young girl is an innocent, a victim, one of millions the war has already claimed.

Good but it dragged
Revisado: 11-17-21
The story was well written. I guess my only real problem with it is that it didn't linger on anything that I particularly was interested in. I realized that it's a survival story but when it lingers on war this long it would be nice to have some sort of comfort resolution. not that there wasn't a resolution and mostly what you expect to have happened happens it's just like and then all the things happened. does that make any sense? Plus I feel like the last bit could have been included in the main story and should have.

Historia
Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

#1 in customer satisfaction
Revisado: 12-22-19
One can only marvel at the depth of insight that can be found in the #1 in customer service story. It is both well paced and perfectly timed. though it did exaggerate a little on how many Nazis one can kill with a melon baller. I can only assume it was part of some sort of humorous joke. I've heard of comedy and seen its positive effect but one must always remember to be factual before trying to be comical. I never would have thought of this as a cookbook but I'm going to have to try that rat cooked over money trick as that sounds delicious. President Baldwin did an amazing job narrating this book. It's only drawback seems that it may have been just slightly too good. some more faint-of-heart may not be able to appreciate that much awesome at one time.
