To continue a discussion from the F-Plus thread: Have I just been running in weird circles or is Armor generally considered a minor classic of SF? Because I heard a lot of praise for that book over the years.

I even tried reading it myself, but got too annoyed and bored during the Jack Crow stuff to bother.

No, I've heard it recommended alongside other space war classics like The Forever War a number of times. Or maybe we both run in similar weird circles. :shrug:

Is there some sort of secret handshake I'm supposed to make to get accepted into the Facebook discussion group?

I just got accepted, goodbye! Is that allowed ITT

Yeah, me too. Guy must have just taken a FB break or something, no big deal.

Holy poo poo, this episode is great. The 1-2 punch of a Remote Control joke immediately followed by a Barry Manilow joke killed me.

I remember giving it a try a while ago and stopping when I realized I didn't really care about the bible. The hosts seemed real nice though.

I was the same way. I listened to the first episode and thought they sounded like good people but I just couldn't muster a single poo poo to give about their take on the Bible.

I somehow dodged the bullet on Ender's Game, should I read it? It's only 324 pages. I know you're Not Supposed to Read the Book, but I really enjoyed RPO for the exact reason J did: it's fun to scoff at dumb bullshit

No. It's not even good, "you're the chosen one," escapist fiction.

Personally I'm enjoying the show featuring books that are "bad" because of poor execution, plot, characters, etc and not "bad" because they're by horrible people saying horrible things.
