A book that reminds me of the MR Lounge

Nate the great · 11-12-2009, 12:24 AM

I just found my copy of Illegal Aliens. This was written by Nick Pollotta in 1989. Fortunately it's still in print, and you can find it at Fictionwise.

This book is a delightfully funny and absurd scifi romp. I can't stop laughing. If you like Terry Prachett, you should get this book. If you like reading about the odd things that happen in the MR Lounge, you should get this book.

I was tempted to crib some parts for my posts, but I decided to share the whole thing. It's really funny.

No, wait. It's not at Fictionwise.

It doesn't appear to be available anywhere, darnit.

The Callahan Chronicals (sort of a collection of all his Callahan short stories most all very funny and fun) by Spider Robinson also sort of reminds me of the weird stuff I read in that Lounge...note I said I READ it, posting requires too much attention to keep up.

Thanks for the tip on the Prachett book. I do recall seeing the title in looking for books on day. siiiigh...yet another book on my list I will need another 85yrs to finish reading.
