Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Excuse Me, That’s My Book

I brought a par­tially fin­ished paper­back with me from home, The Arraign­ment by Steve Mar­tini. I never read at home any more, the only time I do read is when we are away (and away from a com­puter.) When I do read, I read mostly crime fic­tion stuff, tough talk­ing P.I.s, lawyers put in posi­tions they should never be in or get out of, but do, under­dog homi­cide cops, etc. Before this 5 days of relax­ing is up I will fin­ish nearly one book a day. Here is the rest of the list:
The Jury by Steve Mar­tini
The Crush by San­dra Brown
Dust To Dust by Tami Hoag

Went gro­cery shop­ping and because it was going to be a rainy day today I bought a paper­back book to read. As we were check­ing out a nice young man was bag­ging our gro­ceries for us. The book was The Crush by San­dra Brown and when he picked it up instead of plop­ping into the bag he started read­ing the back cover. Maybe it was the pic­ture of the author on the back that caught his eye or some­thing, but I found it very unset­tling that this kid was “read­ing” my book.

I just read the bio page on San­dra Brown and it says she and her hus­band have a get­away in Hilton Head. I won­der if she was in line behind me at the store?
