There's a reissue of Give Up coming out this year? Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamberello are really opening up my wallet this year.

It really taints the cover of Endymion, which otherwise is amazing. I would love a fatty poster of that cover (updated to add the arms, of course).

That for sure. I've always hated how the cover art depicts him with 2 arms. Always really bugged me.

You can't beat ships that turn you into jelly when you use them in their intended manner, haha. My dad told me about that when I was like, 9 or 10 and I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever heard. Still kinda do, haha.

Absolutely, but I've loved everything I've read of his, even the Joe Kurtz novels. Nothing will ever topple Hyperion though, the universe is just too fucking cool, not to mention the story.

Oh my god yes!!!! The hyperion cantos is my favorite book series, with Ilium and Olympos coming in not too far behind. Plus I work at a used bookstore so I get to collect all the original hardbacks. You should totally read Flashback. Its funny that he went to near future after writing three historical fiction novels.

If this were biblical times, I'd be rending my clothes and smearing myself in ashes. Its a growing concern.

His style is just so unique, just about inimitable I'd say. I didn't even know he was in Death Grips until someone mentioned it, and I've been checking them out all day and it is fucking awesome.

Speaking of Zach Hill, anyone see that video of Fred Armisen on Rachel Ray gushing about him (Zach Hill)?

Drew! I must know if you've read A Memory of Light!
Also, on the sci-fi front, I just finished Dan Simmons most recent work, Flashback. Its pretty much a hard-boiled detective/dystopian novel in 2045, about 25 years after The Day It All It the Fan. 365 million americans are addicted to reliving the days prior to that by using flashback, and the whole world has gone to shit.
I highly recommend it.

Is anyone watching House of Cards on Netflix? Absolutely I have. I'm through the first three episodes, planning on getting through at least three more this weekend. I've really enjoyed it thus far, due in no small part to Kevin Spacey's performance. I'm guessing they aren't for some people, but his soliloquies are one of my favorite things about the show. Looking forward to seeing where it ends up going. Your thoughts?
