Location: Middle TN, USA		This is a pretty good article on the whole Hugo award fiasco.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/04/08/_2015_hugo_awards_ho...

Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden novel "Skin Game" was one of the novels slated by The Sad Puppies. The Hugo voters overwhelmingly chose to reject the "Sad Puppies" and in several categories voted "no award given" rather than give an award to Sad Puppies nominees. Who knew geek awards could be so complicated!

On a fun topic, Audiobooks are awesome. I listen to them in my car and when I am doing housework. My tablet has Bluetooth and I can listen to it in my car or on my surround sound. I just download the book on my tablet from my libraries digital resources (Overdrive in my case). Good audiobooks are like old-time radio programs. I really got interested in them a couple years ago when I had a vision scare and was afraid I might not be able to continue reading like I enjoy. Wil Wheaton and Simon Vance are two of my favorite Narrators.

Oh Yeah, I read Neuromancer last year, and just did not like it. There I said it.
