If you can't get Max Brooks for an interview, maybe someone like Philip K. Dick would be appropriate for this book.

Also: Brains v. Human Flesh:

Does Tom know AMC is adapting The Walking Dead comic for TV? http://www.filmcritic.com/features/20...

Has there been any recent posts about The Diamond Age? I think all the news is at least a year old.

Here's my vote for John Scalzi as a future guest. He's very funny.

I've wanted to read Effinger for awhile. Infocom/Westwood released a graphic adventure game (with some RPG elements) based on Effinger's books in 1990. The game is set in Budayeen after the events of When Gravity Falls. I want to try the game out, too, after reading the book (yes, I have a high tolerance for grainy lo-res retro graphics).

(Note - in that game review I linked to, you have to scroll down quite a bit to get to the text.)

Just listened to ep#34. Some suggestions for authors to interview: Jim C. Hines, F. Paul Wilson, James Rollins, E. E. Knight, Derek P. Gilbert (author of Iron Dragons), Jack McDevitt, Mike Resnick, P.A. Hendrickson (author of Dreamstone), Peter V. Brett (author of The Warded Man), Tom Lloyd (author of StormCaller).

Lovin' the podcast!

I always suggest Harlan Ellison and Alan Moore for TWIT, but Leo doesn't listen. :)

Ellison and Dvorak ... it'd be like Goatse in stereo.
