The premise in a nutshell:

Common Question: If you could go back in time and change ONE thing, what would it be?

Typical Response: Stop Oswald.

King takes it one step further... and of course, it rocks.

If you are a fan of classic science fiction and have not yet done so, you owe it to yourself to read the various Little Fuzzy books by H. Beam Piper.

If these books don't make you smile, then you are way too uptight and need to cut back on cable news.

I loved it. Thanks to the Kindle I was able to read it, finally. I'd been looking for it for years without success (ever since I read David Gerrold's book about his experiences writing The Trouble with Tribbles, because he talks about Little Fuzzy). I have a copy of John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation, not sure when I'm going to get to it though.

I just finished the new Kindle Fire Edition of The Watchmen.

VERY cool. Deeply saturated colors, crisp lines. The panel navigation isn't quite as seamless as I'd like, but oh well.
