Oh, god…we’re off to a bad start. I’ve already lied to you. You came here all innocently expecting the Books of the Week, but what you’re actually getting are the Books of the Last Two Weeks. I know, I’m sorry. You’re getting way more than you bargained for. What can I say? We had some…

I know, you’ve been busy. I get that. The holidays are crazy what with all the reborn deities and fat men in red pajama’s riding enslaved reindeer, and.. and.. and… Stop. Calm down, take a deep breath. I got a little somethin’, somethin’, for ya. Close your eyes and hold out your hand. No? Okay,…

Today we’re gonna do a little John Scalzi tribute and review one of his newer books, Redshirts. Now, if you’re into science fiction and don’t know who John Scalzi is it’s probably because you’ve been living under a rock so let me go ahead and take a moment to welcome you to the twenty-first century,…
