John Scalzi's Book Recommendations

"John Scalzi mentioned this book on Twitter."

"OMW directly influenced by: Starship Troopers, book AND film; Half-Life; Dan Simmons' Hyperion series; and rather quite a few films with snappy dialogue and a three-act structure BUT SPECIFICALLY Nora Ephron's bits in Sleepless in Seattle where Sam talks about missing his wife."

"If you're wondering why I am not on Twitter all that much today, it's because I'm reading this book right now, because I'm doing an event tomorrow (5/6) with Holly Black at @JosephBethCincy at 7pm! The book is terrific, by the way, but then, it would be. Holly Black rocks."

"The books I'm taking with me while I travel this weekend. Two very different stories from two excellent storytellers. I'm looking forward to both."

"@neil_will William Kotzwinkle's ET book is terrific."

"The Goblin Emperor is such a good book, y'all. Go get it and read it, you won't be disappointed."

"Terrific."

"Oh, you mean "All the Living and the Dead?" It's a fascinating book about all the people who deal with death as a profession, like morticians, detectives and executioners. Comes out in a month in the US. Would recommend! Also, the author's pretty cool."
