A Side of Panache

 Ah, Moon People , I've missed you. Tiger's Voyage makes me angry to read because the characters are just so awful, but Moon People has no characters and its incoherence is actually pretty endearing. Last time, our intrepid hero David Braymer, local high school teacher and former UFO expert, received a phone call from NASA about the mysterious meteor heading towards Earth. Also, he set up a date with Cheral, local restaurant owner and Sexy Lamp of the book, so that's nice. The New Job We start off with Bud Walker, head of operations at NASA, asking David if he still does astronomy. You know, I'm not sure why the head of operations is conducting a basic job inquiry rather than anyone involved with HR or recruiting. Yes I am, David answered. This is about the meteor isn't it? Yes, Bud replied, I here your the best at what you do. David smiled and said, well I don't know about being the best. But I do teach astronomy in high school and I have been into astrology f...

Hello!  *Looks at calender* Uh, sorry for the long delay in posting. I now emerge from my finals cocoon, ready to completely forget everything I just spent all semester learning. And what better way to do that than read some more of my new favorite book,  Moon People ? In the last installment of  Moon People , we started our dive into author Dale M. Courtney's incoherent ramblings and inability to understand what a paragraph is.  He also seems to think that an introduction is supposed to explain the entire plot, which makes no sense. Well, one of the things we didn't get to touch on last time is that sweet, sweet dialogue.  Now I've made fun of Houck's dialogue in the  Tiger's Curse  series, and I'm not exactly the best at writing dialogue myself, but at least Houck and I know how quotation marks work. Before I get started with the book itself, I did some sleuthing about who the hell Dale M. Courtney is, and I stumbled across his Facebook page. O...

Hey, this isn't what you normally blog about! Yep, you're right!  This post was originally going to be about either Pestilence (which I've, uh, been teasing for about a year now but I keep getting distracted) or The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (which is very good), but sometimes you stumble across something so unbelievably wonderful that you have to share it with as many people as possible. Holy shit, this book makes me so immeasurably happy.  I'm so excited to talk about it. Enter Moon People . When my sister visited a little over a month ago, we ended up pulling up this  list of the worst books ever written .  Now, I'm no stranger to reading bad books for fun.  Hell, that's what the primary purpose of this blog is.  I've read The Eye of Argon .  I've read Atlanta Nights .  If I haven't personally read it, I've usually at least heard of it.  But I'd never heard of Moon People .  I'd never seen it mentioned online anywhere, and ...
