return of the lame book reviews

Enough job whining. Time for more lame book reviews. Hooray!
  • A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore -- Man discovers he is Death. Or, at least, one of Death's little helpers. Very funny. Very sad. Very good.
  • Old Man's War, by John Scalzi -- Earth's Colonial Defense Force only accepts recruits that are over 75 years old. Very good
  • The Android's Dream, by John Scalzi -- Best. First. Paragraph. Ever. "Dirk Moeller didn't know if he could fart his way into a major diplomatic incident. But he was ready to find out." Very funny. Very good.
  • The Algebraist, by Iain M. Banks -- I didn't like it as much as his Culture novels, but still good.

Christopher Moore was just in San Diego yesterday signing books.

Did you want me to go back in my time machine and get one signed for you?
