Still not too much information about how the friggin' magic works, but the police angle seems to finally develop into something like a coherent story. Still like it.

Whow, I did not expect that... Must be the book i had the easiest time to get really into the mood of in the last four, five years? I basically enjoyed it from the first page on, which practically NEVER happens. Hoping this will continue.

Dawkins has a lot of poignant things to say about religious privileges and their misuse. And the slight reworkings for this tenth anniversary edition / new foreword shows how little has actually changed in a decade of open atheism in America and Europe.

It's almost demotivating. If not for the prize that would bring with it in letting religion do its evil unopposed!

I only wish HT would stop to write "german"... it's really getting ridiculously bad now. A couple of jiddish words do not make you fluent in Deutsch, sorry. Not sure about the russian, but probably a similar problem there.

A pleasantly different case as of yet.

The longer this book goes the more sympathy I feel for the "bad girl" in it. While the Emperox is kind of nice, she's also bland and mostly reacts. Lady Kiva on the other hand is getting stronger and stronger. Cool.

When the flow makes trouble you can't go there and won't see the Stars.

I wonder what gave Scalzi the inspiration for that basic rule in his new sandbox universe?

I'm so glad I'm living in Old Europe. The US is simply BROKEN.

I always enjoy a sharp-tongued rebuttal of religious hypocrisy... Lugeons writes just as entertainingly as in his first collection of podcast rants brought to paper!
