The Mallet of Loving Correction

The Mallet of Loving Correction - John Scalzi

The third book of blog entries as essays from Whatever.

 

I love Scalzi's writing. All of these were familiar to me because I have actually read the blog for years now. I like Scalzi's writing on politics, on family life, on the business of being a writer, on pets, on being a blue dot in a red state, etc. I love his sense of humor, and his efforts to do the right thing, and especially where the two combine, as when he uses the mockery of others to fuel fundraising on his own site.

 

He's a good guy who writes well and also has the good sense to ignore topics about which he cannot intelligently write. I became a fan of his science fiction only after reading his blog. So I say to you: use your gift money to buy yourself something fun, like this. I did.
