More Perhapanauts...!

okay...

the other day we received a letter from a brand new perhapanauts fan (we like those...) telling us that, while she was thrilled to happen upon a copy of our Perhapanauts: Triangle trade on a recent excursion to her local comic book store, she was a bit confused by the numbering (and even moreso by my mentioning other nonexistent issues in the letters columns...). i take full responsibility and apologize for the mess, a result of our switching companies and format as the industry continues to morph around us.

now let's talk about me...

or rather, let's talk about what i'm reading...

or listening to.


so, i love to listen to books. i live in a fairly rural area and just running out to the store to pick up milk or bread or something takes a good 15-20 minutes each time (yes, i try to do my shopping all at once. i love listening to books, but i don't make extra trips for myself just so i can listen to more of a story. often.) i love to read as well but, in that i'm in the car so much, it's nice to make the most of that drive-time in an entertaining and inspirational way.

a year or so ago i raved about a book called ready player one by ernest cline. i still say that if you haven't read this gem your doing yourself a disservice. i read it first then listened to it a few months later. read by wil wheaton, it made it new and unique and i highly recommend it.

so, out to capture that same fun, fast-paced, sometimes humorous type of adventure, i let amazon suggest some similar titles and happened upon john scalzi's redshirts, also read by wil wheaton. again, lots of fun and whether you're a star trek fan or not, a solid story with lots of fun and lots of heart built right in. check it out.


which then led me to one of scalzi's other books (he is quite prolific) called fuzzy nation. having already read h. beam piper's fuzzy trilogy back in the early eighties (they were written in the early sixties), i was quite familiar with the concept of a race of cute, furry creatures discovered on a far-off planet that were fighting to be recognized as sentient. it had been some good, solid science fiction back then. i loved them. apparently, john loved these books too and went ahead and wrote a re-boot that i can't listen to fast enough! suspenseful and unpredictable, i'm all over this book! also, read by wil wheaton (and yes, maybe it's wil who makes these books come alive so well!) i say take any one of these great adventures as the soundtrack to your next great adventure, in the car, on the beach--fantastic summer reading...or listening!

what i'm actually reading...?

it's an eclectic bunch

double feature by owen king--haven't finished it yet, but really enjoying it. owen easily shucks the yoke of being steve's son and has a voice and a rhythm all his own. 

the hidden persuaders by vance packard--a book from 1957 written as a warning to the public regarding the use of psychology and manipulation into the world of advertising.

weird u.s. vol.2--the weird new jersey guys give us a second helping of strangeness across the lands. i love the weird books and saw this at b&n for $6 and couldn't resist.

mark (waid) and walter's (simonson's) hulk. along with mark's daredevil, the only comics i read these days...(mostly 'cause they stand alone and you don't hafta read five other comics to get the whole story...)

okay, that's it for me. whadda YOU reading?

we'll be ramping up for the arrival of PERHAPANAUTS: DANGER DOWN UNDER! no.5 over the next few weeks so don't miss out! there'll be trivia, prizes, and all kindsa fun! tell your friends!

smell ya later!
