- I've got Jeff Vandermeer, Mitch Cullin, or Emma Clayton -- nm* - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 14:33 1
  - This. Whoever they are. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 15:14

  - And apparently Richelle Mead who wrote the Vampire Academy series and some other YA stuff. -- nm - sycor Jan 13, 14:16 1
    - Vampire Academy is a fun read -- nm - JD Jan 13, 14:16

    - Cool, I hope that means its better than pulp fiction -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 13, 13:43 1
      - My suggestion is to start with the Cartel stuff. ummmmmm.....though depending on definition might be a bit pulpy? IMO still worth the read -- nm - JD Jan 13, 13:45
- Jeff Vandermeer for me. I've already read multiple books of his, so it would work. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 13, 13:34

- Could be worse, at least there are no bored apes on those lists. -- nm - Max Jan 13, 12:11
- There are some things you don't want at a discount and permanent ink in your skin is definitely one of them. -- nm - Krusty Jan 13, 12:08 4
  - So you mean you would never go on Ink Master and possibly get a mystery tattoo from an unknown artist, for free? - Jovian Jan 13, 12:26 1

After watching Kaleidoscope, I disagree that the episodes can be watched in any order. (spoils) - Inigo Jan 13, 11:03 2
