I finished Stiletto yesterday and started reading Kaiju Preservation Society last night.

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Apr 24 '23, 11:11

I'm going too hard with the reading. Yesterday it was affecting my ability to interact with people (such as my children). Just wanted to read. Must read. Ignore everything else.

I liked Stiletto. Not as much as The Rook, but that's a tough comparison. -- nm - Pachypodium baronii Apr 24, 12:32
you can tell he wrote this one during the pandemic. -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 12:03
KPS is very Scalzi, but also kind of meh. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 11:15 7
- ... he lampshades the reverse-lampshade concept he introduces ... I'm not seeing what's meh here. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 11:37 3
  - As I said, it's very Scalzi. If I ranked Scalzi stuff it'd be near the bottom. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 11:53 2
    - Okay, but that's still better than any book I've written so far. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 12:16
    - the very very bottom -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 12:03
- I've only read one other Scalzi thing (the Interdependency series) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 11:22 2
  - Red Shirts by him is right up your alley. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 11:28 1
    - and Old Man's War is his best. The Lock In books are also good -- nm - Beaker Apr 24, 12:09
