James S.A. Corey on X

The Stars My Destination
Alfred Bester
@killyourfm The Expanse is fanfic for Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination if you want to go back to the source.

Wild Seed
Octavia E. Butler
@scalzi See Octavia Butler was that writer for me. I was just beginning to develop a tiny grain of sophistication in my SF reading when Wild Seed came out and it wasn't like anything I'd ever intentionally read before and it blew me away in voice, style, story, everything.

Cibola Burn
James S. A. Corey
People sometimes claim this Cibola Burn is the most "disconnected" from the main plot of the series and that baffles me. It may be the single most important book in the plot. https://twitter.com/DomAudy/status/1466830812796620804

Joe Hill
@BelliBell @joe_hill 20th Century Ghosts is a fantastic collection.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch
John Cameron Mitchell
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the only musical I've deliberately watched more than once AND the only musical soundtrack I own. It's hard to overstate my John Cameron Mitchell fandom.

The Dragon Waiting
John M. Ford
I bought my first copy of John M Ford's The Dragon Waiting at a library used book sale many years ago for 50 cents. I have since bought three copies at full price to loan out to people who never return them. https://t.co/LeubcXALxL
