Geek Punditry #161: To Reread or Not to Reread?

One of my favorite contemporary authors, Scott Sigler, dropped a new book this week. Voidstrike is the second novel in his series The Crypt, about the crew of a starship in deep space embroiled in the grip of a war. The series follows the P.U.V. James Keeling, a ship that has been nicknamed “The Crypt” because of the absurdly high mortality rate among its crew. In fact, posting to the Keeling is t

“I don’t know what’s worse, your stupidity or your low opinion of me.”
Blake M. Petit, Other People's Heroes
tags: humor

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
