Xkcd: Volume 0
Randall Munroe
@a_verygood_name "Except for anything by Lewis Carroll or Tolkien, you get five made-up words per story." - Randall Munroe, xkcd (https://t.co/xM8oPIm35t) That said, I am totally ignoring that rule in my current work-in-progress. Sometimes ya just gotta roll the dice, y'know?

Fahrenheit 451
Sparknotes
@JDRicoBooks Writing in a library is a time-honored tradition but I haven't been to a library in far too long. It never ceases to amaze me that Ray Bradbury wrote the first draft of Fahrenheit 451 in a library in 9 days using a rental typewriter. That must have been a great writing space.

Child of a Mad God: A Tale of the Coven
R. A. Salvatore
@r_a_salvatore Well, you're the one who would know! I'll get on that right away. Thanks! Honestly, I was expecting to hear that I had to start at The Demon Awakens. Is there a spoiler-free reason to start with Child of a Mad God? Love your work, in case that wasn't clear. Thanks for the reply.

Last Chance to See
Douglas Adams
@SViolaAuthor @doravandekamp Last Chance to See is a great suggestion. I haven't read the book, but I got the original BBC Radio series on @audible_ca because I wanted to hear Douglas Adams's voice as a part of it. Highly recommend. I think I will still get the book eventually.

Ascendance
R. A. Salvatore
Help me, #BookTwitter! I'm a long time @r_a_salvatore fan and I own and have read nearly every Drizzt Do'Urden et al book. I want to get into The DemonWars Saga but the earliest book I could find at the local bookstore was Ascendance. Is that an okay place to start? #AmReading
