I can't choose between @CixinLiu and @andyweirauthor who is the best sci-fi author. I love their work. But they have something in common. They both have a computer science background. I think it's related to the ability to build ideas logically till it becomes a concept. #books

If I have another child, I'm picking a first name that could be a last name, and a middle name that starts with V. Then anything he or she says can be quoted with the gravity of citing a court case.

"Well, Hudson V. Joyner says you can't end a sentence in a preposition..."
