I'm running the Book Barn Secret Santa this year and completely forgot to post about it here until today, the last day to sign up. If anyone's interested in getting cool sci-fi books from fellow goons this Christmas, there's still time to get in before I start making matches.

josh04 posted:Tehanu was really something, the first three books all had their strengths (Tombs of Atuan finishing without a confrontation with a human villain was really striking) but the time and distance it had to reflect and comment on them just made it really unique. yah Tehanu is probably my fav of the bunch because of that

Finished Bone Clocks now and I'm on to Analog/Virtual, a set of sci-fi shorts by an Indian writer, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, that my book-aware friend recommended me.

These excuses may fly in boards like cspam, which I notice doesn't have a single Halo thread, but we have high standards down here okay.

New thread title. What does it mean? Even I don't know what it means! But it's the truth. If you're the best and brightest the 'Fi can offer I want you to make it loud and proud. This is not the time for humility! Serve this forum by telling me exactly what makes you great!

Let it be known that I have been agitating in backroom deals with reign and the admins for us to be allowed to mount an assault on CSPAM over their selfishly stockpiled Halo content, and I have been stonewalled at every turn.
