Another nod to one wittier than I…

Every once in a while you stumble across a writer whose pure awesomeness is just….well, AWESOME! John Scalzi is one of those writers.

I was recently introduced to Scalzi’s work by Joe Mallozzi who, despite being one of the buissiest guys in showbusiness, still manages to read more than a few books a week, update his blog every day, and host an online “Book of the Month Club” which I am a part of. One of the club’s most recent reads was The Android’s Dream, which I would recommend to anyone with two eyes and the ability to read the english language. Don’t let the title fool you…there’s not a single android in all its 300+ pages–the title is actually a nod to the PKD novel Do Android’s Dream of Electric Sheep, from which the movie “Blade Runner” was adapted. But I digress. It is clever, funny, and has sheep in it. And let’s face it: who doesn’t love sheep?

For those of you who prefer to read little snippits of genius, I’d love to point you towards Scalzi’s blog, which he updates several times a day. My favorite post as of late, is his commentary on the Fox News “Obama’s Baby Mama” scandal: HILARIOUS! (WARNING! Reading his post is a choking hazzard. That said, click here.)

 ps…John Scalzi recently guest blogged on Joe’s site to answer BOTM clubber’s questions about The Android’s Dream. Check it out here.
