OK gang, I am going to share something I found, that I think is freakin’ hilarious. This is an article where a reviewer posts the worst of the worst of opening lines from POD (Publish On Demand) books. They list the top (or bottom?) 20, and it’s a hoot. Don’t be drinking anything when you read these. Enjoy!

Starship Troopers

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I just finished reading Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. Wow, what an amazing book, it’s freakin’ awesome. Let me tell you something, the movie that came out with the same name … well, that’s the only thing it has in common with the book, the name. I have been a HUGE Heinlein fan for years (hence the nickname Laz), and I hadn’t read this book until now. Dang, I didn’t know what I was missing. Heinlein gets it right in this book, he pegs modern culture and I think has lots of answers for problems we have today, and he wrote it what … 40 years ago or more? Ok, especially if you are into military anything, go get Starship Troopers and read it, it’s a quick read and it’s awesome. Also, if you aren’t familiar with Robert Heinlein, check out his books, he is an amazing author. I am even a member of the Heinlein Society, and come to think of it, you should be a member too!
