Oh look, another Uncle John’s book I contributed to has hit the stores: Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Plunges Into Hollywood. As per the Uncle John’s tradition, the individual articles are not attributed so unless you have a truly excellent eye for my writing, you’ll not know which pieces are mine. And, frankly, I wrote these pieces so long ago that even I’m not entirely sure which are mine; I’d have to look at my check stub to be sure. But regardless, the book is chock full of Hollywood trivia goodness, so if you’re a Hollywood and/or Uncle John’s buff, you will be deeply satisfied by this offering. It’s pretty damn interesting.

An amusing interview of Tobias Buckell by Jeff VanderMeer.

Speaking of interviews, I recorded one yesterday with Glenn and Helen Reynolds (aka Instapundit and Dr. Helen) for an upcoming podcast, in which we discuss various things about Old Man’s War, The Ghost Brigades, and selling books online. I’ll let you know when that goes live. It was actually the first time I’ve spoken with either, which is weird considering how long we’ve known of each other in the online sense. But that’s the 21st century for you, isn’t it: you can know someone for years, and yet not know the sound of their voice.
