This bodes better for him than he might think, but with so much out there it can be...difficult...For the record, I buy almost everything I read, except research books from the library. Intellectual property and it's distribution and sources of income for producers vs. the industry for the media - are going to change radically in the near term, and before long someone is going to create a reader that is better than a book (smaller, allows font size to be adjusted to reader, scrolls text easier, etc.).
;)" Heh. It delivers. Too bad those they presume to stand for get royally screwed as well.Conservatives believe in a government by the oligarchy, for the oligarchy, which is why the conservative idea of an excellent leader is Ronald Reagan, i.e., genial, brain-damaged and amenable to manipulation by his more mentally composed underlings. Or not.It is weird. Ah, well.
Usually, if I liked it enough to read the whole thing, I end up buying it. I might sit down to read it properly, and I might not - but what struck me was that it is not a book with great kerb appeal - the casual bookstore browser, when faced with second person POV and extremely dense prose is pretty likely to put it back down on the shelf. Granted, you are an insider and I am not, but everything credible I have heard about the publishing industry suggests:1. Aesthetics. Just not the same experience with a laptop.I purchased Blindsight at Borderlands about a month back--I think Elizabeth Bear or somebody else on my LJ f-list recommended it, and I was particularly struck by the recommendation. In particular cases, the size of that uptick can sometimes be rather modest.
Conservatives don’t actually bother to spend time with people who are not conservative, and thus become confused and irritable when people disagree with them; fundamentally can’t see how that’s even Conservatives clueless enough to think that having Condi Rice and Andrew Sullivan on the team somehow counts as diversity. Really, those two points are immaterial (no offense). When is Dan Brown's next book coming out? It’s enough to make anyone cranky, I suspect.No, I don’t know what they are. (If you don't follow the Big Idea pieces[1], you're missing out on one of the better tools that isn't "friends' recommendations" for discovering good new SF I've found. I've got no excuse there -- well, except lack of time. It felt good, which has its own value. But since virtually every bookstore in the city is owned by the same company, and carry basically the same stock, I can't find any of your other books.Amazon, Shky. Feel better, John, thanks again for the recommendation.And, yes, I am aware I misspelled Blindsight in my previous post. Sooner or later you have to pull them off and ride on two wheels — and risk the crash.
Just want to add my recommendation to the pile: it's an excellent book, and asks questions hard SF should be asking -- the simple ones that I can't figure why we haven't yet. Fair enough. I am concerned about tainting my own work with anything right now but I am so frigging sick of reading boring stuff I don't care.John, do you get concerned about your work getting "infected" or "influenced" by others or do you just go ahead, read and damn the consequences?I read the post on BoingBoing and went out and bought the book without reading any of it online. Aside from the psychological toll this would take on the children (whose team is so bad that it can’t win even with the direct and active intercession of Jesus Christ Himself), think of the problematic theological issues — especially if, as postulated in the point above, the opposing team was populated entirely by the children of the infidels. His debut novel, it was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2006.. Old Man's War is the first novel in Scalzi's Old Man's War series.A sequel, The Ghost Brigades, was published in 2006, followed by two other books, The Last Colony (2007) and Zoe's Tale (2008). I do wonder, though, what would happen if an author released a free version of his work without the consent of his publisher. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. If as a reader I enjoyed Watts' work, the Now, to be sure, there are times and places where a reader can't just rush out to the bookstore and pick up a copy of something -- tight budgets, caught overseas, parents won't allow you access to that devil-loving science fiction or whatever. Let a rant be a rant, for God’s sake; there’s more than enough time for a seminar on political affiliations some other time.The final complaint I want to comment on is the one that suggests that by venting about political affiliations, I was promoting the cause of political apathy — although in the Plastic thread, there were people who saw this as a positive and a negative, so I suppose that “complaint” might not be the most accurate word where.Whatever it is, it’s incorrect. Less so lately, for some reason----an overabundance of Not always, but often enough, this= increased sales for the author as well.Oh, and my copy of TAD arrived yesterday, so I'll be diving into it soon, too!My sympathies to Mr. Watts. . In the case of the “Politics” piece, I dropped an e-mail to InstaPundit and Libertarian Samizdata. Listening to any of you yammer on about the geopolitical situation is enough to make one want to melt down one’s dental fillings with a beeswax candle and then jam an ice pick into the freshly-exposed nerve, just to have something else to think about. )Well, it's an offshoot, but BLINDSIGHT led me to Amazon Peter's short story collection, which, so far, is excellent.One poorly-selling book usually won't do you in -- although it might, None of the points you make, Tim, have anything to do with anything when it comes to I really appreciate it when authors make the text of their books available like this. I think it's Peter's best work and the best book I've read this year. One's sales figures follow one around, and some authors' names are compromised enough through low previous sales that it can have a real impact on whether they can sell another book at all.
