How else would you know it's funny?
"Just how my wife likes it," says this 13-year old sigma dweeb.
Andy Weir is going to be interviewed soon on the NYT Book Review podcast. They're taking questions for him at thebookreview@nytimes.com. A good time to ask why he didn't emphasize the Moon's gravity more.
I questioned everything I thought I knew about moon phases until the radio person said, βEclipse.β
Now for Sega Master System
What, no Jim in loincloth figure?
This book has definitely been in the bathroom.
That sounds like you died.
Text: ββSlay the bats or send them slithering and Iβll come, but not before,β he dogmatized.β

Ha, yes: Farseer trilogy, Liveship Traders trilogy, Tawny Man trilogy, Rain Wilds quadrology that should have been a duology, and the Fitz & Fool trilogy. Each set is a wholly satisfying story on its own but if you read them don't read them out of order.

Novelization of the movie Willow and sequel story novels Shadow Moon and Shadow Dawn.

It took a while to find a copy.
Canβt wait! It could be anything! It could be that AI generated cookbook inspired by Anne Frankβs diary published last week!
I just made it to the end also. I noticed Mountain Dew listed in the credits under βSpecial Thanksβ

That has been suggested recently by others I trust, I will try it out at some point.
Yeah so that didnβt work out.
Sir, that is my wife you speak of!
My wife mashes potatoes like they killed her family.
In case youβre wondering what kind of dad I am, I am already lamenting the fact that municipal xmas tree curbside pickup wonβt happen until Jan. 6.
Isnβt there some kind of Sandman, of any girth, to help in this type of situation?
Currently on the last book on my October to-read list. ππ
This was a Stephen King short story.
Front inside flap of dustjacket for Iced on Aran by Brian Lumley, with orange text against a teel background, very difficult to read.
