When you do, don’t judge the series by the first volume. DC told Gaiman they wanted a horror series. It was only after that they loosened the reins and let him take the story where he wanted it to go.
The Quantum Thief trilogy. Mainly because part of it takes place in Oubliette, a city whose buildings, plazas and monuments are carried across the surface of Mars by giant robots. That ought to be quite a spectacle.
Their health. I’ve reached the age where most of my friends have something to say about their health. It becomes a sort of one-upmanship game, where everyone has to top the person who spoke last with their afflictions. What is this, the misery olympics?
I don’t remember they guy’s name, but he was a Minecraft Youtuber who liked to shout “Let’s go!” at the end of EVERY SENTENCE HE SPOKE. I gave him ten minutes of my attention and that was being generous.
My wife carries a fold-up nylon shopping bag in her handbag everywhere we go. Useful in a surprising number of situations.

When I travel, I try to taste the local cuisine and love to try things that I’ve never had before. Recently I tried haggis, which was outstanding. I’ve also had hakarl (fermented shark - not really my cup of tea, but glad I tried it) and balut (surprisingly tasty)....
Chocolate covered crickets. What made them interesting is they tasted nothing like chocolate and I kinda suspect the person who gave them to me of having sucked the coating off them first.
What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?
I didn’t read this series when I was a kid, but I finally got around to reading Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber....
Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?
For me it’s detailed describtions about people’s dreams....

Who is the cruelest fictional villain?

What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics?
I really love the idea of reducing single use plastics in my life. What have you done to successfully reduce or eliminate it?...
What would you rather eat a poop flavored chocolate, or chocolate flavored poop?

How do you deal with incompetence?
Especially paired with ignorance.
[QUESTION] What's the most interesting thing you've eaten?
