My friend Andrew (who you’ve seen on the Chez Geek episode of Tabletop), sent me this gif with the note: “our network was running very slowly and Tabletop frozeon an especially imposing face. Sam, our production manager, made it even worse. Enjoy.”
See you in your nightmares.

| So it drags a little (a lot) around the halfway point, but the last third of the book makes it worth the wait. | |

is on page 789 of 1216 of A Storm of Swords: I haven't updated in almost 300 pages because right around the time I was starting feel bored with this book HOLY SHIT THAT THING HAPPENED AND THEN THAT OTHER THING AND THEN THE OTHER THING. So it's picked back up, and I haven't had time to do much more than read it.

IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale
by Mitch Steele
read in March, 2013

| The history in this book is absolutely fascinating, and Mitch writes in a conversational style that's extremely approachable while remaining authoritative. The section on specific brewing techniques for the various styles of IPAs is great, but the bi...more | |

Like the first episode of any series, it took me quite a bit of time to figure out who the characters were, what they were about, and why I should care about them. When I got all that figured out, and settled in for the ride, it was a lot of fun. It's...more |

I really loved this book. I didn't know anything going into it, other than that it was weird, so that's all I'll give you. I think it's worth your time. |

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

My kids and I are listening to you read "Ready Player One." At one point I chuckled and said, "He said 'holodeck'" and in unison all three said, "What's a holodeck?" Hello, geek mom FAIL. Anyway, it's a fantastic rendition of a fantastic book, thanks! I will definitely check out anything you read in the future.
Heh. Part of me wants to laugh hysterically. Part of me is bemused. The rest of me is hungry. Nice to meet you, virtually speaking, of course.
P.S. I am going to pick up your book Dancing Barefoot too, because as a Trekkie when it comes to your books...
Hi Wil,I am totally jazzed to have you as a friend! I am a big fan of yours - TNG is one of my all-time favorite shows & I really like your character, Wesley Crusher. I am now going to happily geek out in your comments section... :)
I enjoy reading your blog & I'll be picking up your book, Just a Geek, soon - I look forward to reading it!

Big fan of course, from Star Trek and Big Bang. :D
