Hey, thanks Ross - glad you liked 'The Festering'. I like a load on that list too and will probably make one of my own at the end of the year.

I also read Redshirts this past year. I loved it and had to read some more Scalzi. Fuzzy Nation and Agent to the Stars were also very enjoyable. Fuzzy Nation was a rewrite of H. Beam Piper’s Little Fuzzy, but it was a great new take on it. Although Redshirts got a little convoluted, it was never the less an entertaining and hilarious book. The premise alone was genius.
