From this week's Onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/index):

OREGON CITY, OR—Science-fiction author Morgan Richards announced Monday completion of his long-awaited novel, Zeppelins Of Phobos. The swashbuckling tale of the battle for control of the solar system depicts a terrifying future filled with virtually indistinguishable characters who only communicate through stilted and shallow dialogue.Science-Fiction Novel Posits Future Where Characters Are Hastily Sketched (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/46693)

I am a bad, bad person. I want so badly to write this novel.

Interesting. It sounds like a 'library check-out' book rather than a 'must buy' though.

Take care -
