I initially started this blog to make Science Fiction and Fantasy book recommendations, and the first (oldest) 12 entries are just that: http://www.animeultima.tv/forums/blo...ations&u=97975

Having accumulated enough book recommendations for now, I am mostly focusing on jokes and stories about events in my life. Joke entries will have quotes around the title ("title"), and reminiscences will have angle brackets (<title>). Just in case you can't tell the difference...

"That's adorable"

Not part of my SF recommendations, just a horrible joke I felt like inflicting on others.
---------------

Two guys, collection agents for a bookie, are visiting a debtor at his mobile home trailer, but find the door locked.

The larger of the two guys (much larger) bangs on the door, while the smaller one wanders off a little, and stares at the side of the trailer, where a picture of a kitten can be seen.

"That's adorable", the smaller...

Science and Surrealism

The often bloody past

Posted August 16, 2013 at 04:52 PM by eccentrich (Science Fiction & Fantasy books, etc.)

The first in a two book alternate history fantasy series. Kay is an extremely good writer, who sets nearly all his books in an alternate world very similar to ours, but with some usually minor magical elements.

The Politics of SF

Posted August 8, 2013 at 04:58 PM by eccentrich (Science Fiction & Fantasy books, etc.)

A lot of the most well known works of SF have been pretty political, such as 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc. And a lot of them have been dystopian as well, set in bleak future societies.

This week's books are all SF, and most of them have significant political aspects. None of them are total gloom fests however, and some are actually pretty funny.

(Note: If you are interested in finding free ebooks, several helpful links can be found in the comments section of last week's...
