It is said Keith is so bright, his intellect could guide a ship safely to shore. Witnesses report that he dresses so sharply, they thought he used a whetstone. I am told that Keith is a world-renown author and his works have been called “life-changing”. I have it on good authority that he is an extremely funny guy who always has the perfect witty comment and only ever at times befitting such remarks. It is rumored that he once said something so funny, several dozen people around the globe laughed mildly without knowing why. Here is a quote from a venerable source that refers to Keith as, “a pretty good guy”. A respectable and preferably unnamed rival once said off the record that they looked up to him (though this may have been a poor attem It is said Keith is so bright, his intellect could guide a ship safely to shore.

I have it on good authority that he is an extremely funny guy who always has the perfect witty comment and only ever at times befitting such remarks. It is rumored that he once said something so funny, several dozen people around the globe laughed mildly without knowing why. Here is a quote from a venerable source that refers to Keith as, “a pretty good guy”. A respectable and preferably unnamed rival once said off the record that they looked up to him (though this may have been a poor attempt at wit, as Keith is 6.1 and the unnamed individual is a trifling 5.9). What else… Ah, he frequently tips over 20%, which is something. Uhh… he makes a mean grilled cheese, I guess? I mean it’s pretty good, nothing to write home about though, honestly. What else… puh… Ummumum… he’s… a half-decent driver, I mean a few accidents, sure, but nothing crazy. What? Keep it rolling? Yeah, sure — sorry. Anyways, I guess since you made it this far you’ve earned the truth. Keith is really just a guy, pleasant enough that if you strained to remember him, you’d think something like, “oh, yeah, that guy. He was alright.” He writes as a hobby, certainly no one asked him to, so just bear that in mind. He’s got, let’s see here, two kids — boys, 3 and 5. That’s not their names, just their age. Okay, I am seeing my director wave frantically at me now, I’ll wrap this up. He was born in ‘96, and he’s been married since ‘17 - whoa, alright, he married fairly young. Yeah, no, that’s — there’s nothing wrong with that, good for him. Ah, somebody is pounding on the glass to my sound booth, I think that means I’m done, lemme just make sure I got everything off this paper… hmmm, oh it says he’s got a Bachelors in theology — hah, what a nerd. Okay, I think that about wrap—“ ...more

I enjoyed the book but I have a lot of problems with it, a lot of detail things — consistency issues. The rules were broken a lot in this book, there’s loads of filler, things that don’t make sense, the big bad guy is barely in it at all. Too much to ...more

This book is surprisingly hilarious. I liked it a lot. It boasts a sprawling account of one man’s journey through life. It has the unique McCarthy trait of not really being about anything, if that makes sense. Memorable characters, odd situations, in ...more

I love this concept of a seemingly infinite library that’s always burning always being restocked and recategorized. Humanity has continually built up its knowledge and destroyed itself, though never the library (ignoring the minor plot hole that this ...more

If I didn’t know better, I’d say Scoot discovered how to time travel and has been writing down his interviews with the spacefarers of the near future. This collection begins with interviews of witnesses to humanities ‘first contact’ with aliens. ———— ...more

It’s decent, but not fleshed out at all. It feels like a clever short story idea that was bloated out into a book. The background isn’t explored — why this walk exists, why kids do it, what the squads are, who is the General/dictator, etc — and inste ...more

Okay, I think I’m in a minority here, but I didn’t love these stories. Perhaps my expectation/excitement doesn’t match what the book actually is, I’m not sure, but I wasn’t blown away by these. I enjoyed almost all of the stories, but they didn’t fee ...more
