Okay, fine: He started writing \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e and amused about 15 people that first day. If that many. But he kept at it, for ten years and running. Now 40,000 people drop by on a daily basis to see what he's got to say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout what? Well, about whatever: Politics, writing, family, war, popular culture and cats (especially with bacon on them). Sometimes he's funny. Sometimes he's serious (mostly he's sarcastic). Sometimes people agree with him. Sometimes they send him hate mail, which he grades on originality and sends back. Along the way, Scalzi's become a best-selling, award-winning author, a father, and a geek celebrity. But no matter what, there's always another \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e post to amuse and\/or enrage his readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Hate Mail Will Be Graded\u003c\/i\u003e collects some of the best and most popular Whatever entries from the first ten years of the blog - a decade of \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e, presented in delightfully random form, just as it should be. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e* Winner of the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e* Introduction by \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e actor Wil Wheaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOTHER TOR BOOKS BY JOHN SCALZI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgent to the Stars\u003cbr\u003eThe Android's Dream\u003cbr\u003eFuzzy Nation\u003cbr\u003eRedshirts\u003cbr\u003eThe Kaiju Preservation Society\u003cbr\u003eStarter Villain\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Moon Hits Your Eye\u003cbr\u003eMonsters of Ohio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE OLD MAN'S WAR NOVELS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOld Man's War\u003cbr\u003eThe Ghost Brigades\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Colony\u003cbr\u003eZoë's Tale\u003cbr\u003eThe Human Division\u003cbr\u003eThe End of All Things\u003cbr\u003eThe Shattering Peace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE LOCK IN SERIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLock In\u003cbr\u003eHead On\u003cbr\u003eUnlocked\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE INTERDEPENDENCY SEQUENCE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Collapsing Empire\u003cbr\u003eThe Consuming Fire\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Emperox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEDITED BY JOHN SCALZI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetatropolis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42637526892605,"sku":"9780765327116","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780765327116_p0.jpg?v=1771575150","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9780765327116","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
