To the guy at th bookstore

[maevele]

Do I look like the type of person who is just waiting for some guy to come chat her up? (see, Me, angry, sick, headshavey anmd wearing trenchcoat) because no.

And also, when the conversation turns to scifi, and you ask if I read Orson Scott Card? This is proof you are barking up the wrong tree. So you ask about Heinlein, okay, yeah, I've read Bob, but look, I found Octavia Butler in the clearance rack....and you say "Who?" not only is it the wrong tree, but the wrong forest, and I will go home and mock you on my blog.

And when you say you'll see me in the scifi aisle? I will make a dash for the checkout.

Card's early books aren't that bad... It's just that he's a total ass.
