"I'm able to understand more of what's going on kind of in sub-text or something like that than when I read it when I was younger (probably in late 20s). Back then I was looking for more action and this story is more about morality and the consequences of a project with good intention that ends up killing a crap-zillion people." — Apr 27, 2026 01:19PM

"I didnt know that in addition to fiction he wrote non-fiction articles too. And he's good at it. I can't imagine how much time it took for some of those articles. He had to interview lots of people, get the basic facts, etc. then somehow pull it all together in an article. Also some of ideas for his fiction books came from real life stuff!" — Oct 13, 2024 03:13PM

Defenestration – traditional Os-Fferegh means of disposing of tyrants
LOL. "Defenestration" is one of my favorite words. I first heard of it in high school English class where my quirky teacher made us learn this word as well as some other $10 words as they say. It means 'to throw something out a window'.
