I bought this one because I’d read something about the author, Steven Erikson, that was intriguing. Here was a guy who plotted out 10 novels set in a world he co-created. That’s simply amazing. So, the official stuff: The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with ancient and [...] Make me famous:
             No one is better than I am at buying tons of books that sit around waiting to be read. Last week, I started talking about some of these books, but then life distracted me and I never finished so I’m picking it up again this week. Believe me, I have plenty of books that fall into this [...] Make me famous:
This week I’m talking about books that I’ve shelled out the cash for, but haven’t yet cracked open to read. Let’s talk about: Merlin Ok, so – if you’ve been hanging out here for a while, reading my stuff, maybe following me on twitter or listening to the podcast… Hey, ARE YOU STALKING ME?! Wait, where was I? [...] Make me famous:
I never want to get bored. To that end, I buy a lot of books. I can’t walk into a bookstore and walk out empty handed. I think it’s genetic. This means that I have a lot of unread books lying around. This week, I’m going to talk about some of those books and try to justify, [...] Make me famous:
I hate shopping. Well, that’s not true – I like shopping for certain things like DVD’s, music, video games, gadgets – but groceries, clothing, toothpaste – I hate it. Especially the toothpaste.

With that in mind, I made a trip to ye olde book seller and picked up a few things to whet the literary appetite. I haven’t [...] Make me famous:
If, like me, you’re an avid watcher of tv and movies, and a reader of books, you may have noticed a trend towards the disastrous future. Apocalypse is in and in big. I mean, it’s everywhere we look. I think it’s sort of a staple of the genre now. If you’re going to have a futuristic/scifi [...] Make me famous:
Star Trek: The Original Series. Probably one of the strongest influences on my life from a very young age was the original Star Trek. Rerun in syndication almost endlessly, the original Star Trek was huge in my life growing up. I knew the characters so well you’d think they were family. I could quote episodes like the [...] Make me famous:
I mentioned yesterday as part of this series of posts on ‘Influences’ that I’m doing this week, that a part of me felt like I was always treated like I was older than I actually was. This isn’t entirely a fiction of my brain, I think there’s some evidence to support this. The Youngest. Born in ’72, [...] Make me famous:
(Edit: Mister Modesitt sent me an email asking that I clarify a couple things, which I am more than happy to do – as I said, I was relying on my own memory here. So I have gone through and -fixed- errors, using strikethrough in red so you can see where I messed up and [...] Make me famous:
