I wrote an email to Rudy Rucker (cyberpunk author) wishing him a happy 76th birthday and telling him how much I love his books, and since I write a book review blog, if he could provide me with some reading suggestions.
he looked at it and wrote me back! shit yeah,
"Looked at your blog, nice and very thorough. Good work. Feeble review of the Lifebox tome, though. It's not hard to read! Is it?

"
he also gave me some reading suggestions. Love how he ripped me for the weaksauce review of his Lifebox book. I laughed.
