MaMoCiao Mondo. Ho letto: L'eredità di Charlie - <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/johnscalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#johnscalzi</a> Se sei suo lettore sai che tipo di lettura sarà: veloce, scansonata, interessante. Ma non stavolta Sarò io, sarà lui, fatto sta che oramai John mi ha stancato; i suoi protagonisti sono (è) sempre gli stessi; pensano, agiscono, parlano allo stesso modo anche se ovviamente in altri contesti. Questo poi sembra un libro di quelli scritti per chi abitualmente non legge. Carini gli animali parlanti. Voto: se in bagno non hai proprio altro...

Edward ChampionThis is just your friendly reminder that John Scalzi -- Heinlein ripoff hack, unrepentant narcissist, Gaiman apologist (and tacit endorser of sexual assault even AFTER the allegations dropped), and a cowardly fuckhead who wished for my death -- is a registered Republican. Even AFTER the past and present Trump shitshow. This man is a piece of shit. A shitty writer and a shitty human being. Pure scum.Do not buy his books. He is NOT an ally.<a href="https://voterrecords.com/voter/29919390/john-scalzi" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://voterrecords.com/voter/29919390/john-scalzi</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/johnscalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#johnscalzi</a>

Sebastian Hahn 🟧Nice morning run, accompanied by a light drizzle. But, I must stress this point, I liked the rain. After some days of complete dryness and blistering sun, the rain felt so good on my face while <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Running</a> – I even finished the new <a href="https://mastodon.social/@scalzi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@scalzi</a> audiobook WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE, which was quite fun.

ZeppoTänään sain luettua loppuun kaksi hyvin erilaista kirjaa. Edgar Rice Burroughsin Billy ja Etsivä on vanhanaikainen seikkailuromaani vanhanaikaisine asenteineen ja tämä suomennus myös vanhanaikaisella suomenkielellä. Joku viehätys näissä vanhoissa kirjoissa silti on. Kaiju preservation society puolestaan on hillittömän hauska versio usein turhan vakavasta hirviögenrestä. Tästä olisi kiva nähdä elokuva. <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/erb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#erb</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/billyjaetsiv%C3%A4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#billyjaetsivä</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/themucker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#themucker</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/JohnScalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnScalzi</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/thekaijupreservationsociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thekaijupreservationsociety</a>

Sebastian Hahn 🟧First run with the AW S9, and – as expected – everything went smoothly. I had forgot to activate auto-stop, so when I had a short pee break, it ran on and on, but that‘s ~35-40 seconds. Apart from that, I didn’t feel a difference. And I really love the slimmer watch. While <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Running</a> , I listened to THE ANDROID‘S DREAM by <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/JohnScalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnScalzi</a> which I consider to be one of his classic novels. I‘ve read the book and listened to the audiobook at least 5 times now.

dana hilliotTerminé RedShirts de John Sclazi, à la sieste, peu avant de hurler à cause d'une crampe au (très) grand orteil du pied gauche (j'ai le pied grec).J'ai beaucoup aimé. C'est à la fois très ambitieux et très drôle. Le premier coda, dans lequel l'auteur, ou celui qui se fait passer pour l'auteur, se plaint du livre qu'il en est en train d'écrire, soulève des problèmes insondables dans lesquels seul‧es les écrivain‧e‧s (de fiction) se fourvoient (parfois, rarement sans doute, sinon ils seraient tous considérés comme fous à lier et internés dans des Unités Psychiatriques Spécialisées et soigneusement protégées de toute interaction avec le reste de l'humanité).(Je me dois de signaler, ce que mes innombrables non-lecteurs et non-lectrices auront tôt fait de noter, que dans mon livre Moldanau, le chapitre IV "ce que j'ai vu à Moldanau" et le chapitre VII "Finse", explorent précisément ce genre de problème. Qui est l'auteur . Et est-ce que ça importe vraiment tant que ça de le savoir ? (excepté pour l'auteur lui-même) La révolte des personnages contre le récit dont ils sont victimes est encore plus marquée dans le dernier chapitre, le VIII, "Une Ascension". J'avais placé mon livre dans l'ombre du génial Feu Pâle (Pale Fire) de Nobokov. je crains que pas grand monde parmi mes non-lecteurs et non-lectrices n'ait compris quoi que ce soit à ce que j'ai essayé de faire, ou alors ça ne les a pas intéressé, et, plus probablement, ils n'ont pas dépassé les 10 premières pages - tous comme les éditeurs. J'ai toujours trouvé stupide cette idée d'écrire des premières pages attrayantes. D'y aller mollo "au début". Mes livres favoris ne cèdent pas à cette facilité. Bref.)Le dernier coda du livre de Sclazi est très émouvant. Avant de hurler à cause de ma crampe au grand orteil du pied gauche, j'ai versé une petite larme.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/JohnScalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnScalzi</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/@scalzi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@scalzi</a> est sur mastodon au fait, et son blog est passionnant : <a href="https://whatever.scalzi.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://whatever.scalzi.com/</a>

dana hilliotUn des livres les plus drôlatiques que j'ai lus ces dernières années. En ce moment sur ma table de sieste/nuit :Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas, de John Scalzi. J'avais bien aimé La Société protectrice des Kaijus, un hommage tordu à Jurassic Park (entre autres). Redshirts est typiquement un méta-roman, une mise en abyme littéraire (postmoderne comme on disait naguère), qui joue avec une série télévisée de SF bien connue des fans du genre - mais je n'en dirais pas plus pour ne pas vous gâcher le plaisir !(notez tout de même que les fans de la dite-série bénéficient d'un avantage certain, et s'en amuseront sans doute plus que les autres)La traduction française est due à Mikael Cabon pour les éditions L'Atalante (Collection La Dentelle du cygne, 2013)<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/JohnScalzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnScalzi</a>
