[personal profile] rydra_wong has a really great recommendation for John M. Ford's novel The Dragon Waiting, which makes me desperately long to re-read it in my copious spare time so I can play in the spoiler post (linked in the non-spoiler rec).

Kyle Whelliston: "I try to be the last man (sic?) in America to know who won the Super Bowl, and the last man in America to know the score of the game." As of half an hour ago, he was still successfully ignorant of both, which I find hilarious.

My husband will certainly beat Mr. Whelliston by the simple trick of not caring at all.

I'm not sure I even remember the names of the teams. I guess I don't know who won. I definitely don't know the score. This is despite having taped it so that I could watch the commercials (overall, kind of disappointing).

I've had trouble with John M Ford's novels before (I feel like I'm on the wrong side of a glass wall between me and his intended audience), but that rec is very very tempting. And I do in fact have a copy on my bookshelf. But also no free time. Hmm....

Must say my wonderful man is in the running for that, and I don't even know whether it's baseball or football.
