The Sword and Laser discussion

We have pumpkin spiked lattes and cheese. In fact one cheesy book literally molds. Plus we check in with a non-spoilery discussion of Aurora Rising/The Prefect by Alistair Reynolds.

"Dreyfus scratched at the bulge of neck fat lapping against the back of his collar." - p. 34.

The title sounds literary, like The Pilgrim's Progress:

Bill Nighy as Pratchett’s voice is just so wrong. Couldn’t they get Michael Sheen: Aziraphale is essentially Pritchett and the voice delivery is closer

I love the verbal picture of me as the leader of a plucky band of rebels, going against the tyranny of the official October book pick!

Also, I love the concept of a “300-page novella.” Kind of like a three-course snack, or a forty-mile marathon. That’s Tad Williams for you I guess!

A three-course snack is something that sounds really, really awesome!

Also "rebel read" sounds much cooler than "alt pick"!!

I think in the past when an alt-pick has been unofficial it was referred to as a "rogue read." So Ruth is the ROGUE leader of a plucky band of rebels, obviously.

In the Discord group we have Rebel Reads, but Rogue Read is also good alliteration so I'll allow it.

What about Renegade Reads?

Rogue, Renegade And Rebel
Renegades, Rebels, and Rogues
Making Waves: Renegades, Rebels, & Rogues Box Set
Renegades, Rebels and Rogues Under the Tsars
Renegades, Rebels & Rogues

Iconoclastic ingestions?

What about Rouge Reads?

I have serious questions Veronica. What was the cheese? Did Ryan eat the cheese? Can you eat other cheese?

I'd be too red faced to show up in that one...
