Ever since Terry Pratchett died last week, I’ve been having variants of the same conversation with my friends and family — WHERE to start reading when there are so so so many books?

Everyone has their own strongly held opinions, as our pal Tasha Robinson lays out in this thoughtful essay.  Me personally, I say as long as you don’t begin at the beginning, you’ll be fine.

Challenge #00927-B196: Just My Type

The opposite to the last one - a being that is unattractive to their own race that a human finds beautiful.

Rae usually disliked going into the lower-gravity realms of the
station. She had a pathological dislike of insects that included
antisocial actions like screaming and flailing if one of them touched
her.

Only the Huf’nuf’ruf remained unoffended.

Her intent
was to go down, do her job, and then retreat into one of the luxury spas
to soak the imagined

my-own-little-nerd-paradise:

“I want a sci-fi series to have an alien race that literally every other race but humans thinks are the hottest fucking thing but it just completely goes over humans’ heads.  Like instead of the Asari or some neon skinned space babe, every other race is just fucking fawning over some bizarre spider race.  When humans don’t get it they’re just like, “What the fuck’s wrong with you?  She’s hot, dude.
