		<description><![CDATA[When I spotted &#8220;Entropy in 606 Words,&#8221; by Derek Zumsteg, my first thought was, It&#8217;s the toothbrush guy! Despite the complicated subtitle (“A Fictional Exploration of Current Thinking on Localized Entropic Models and Possible Associated Unexpected Phenomena”), the first line is simple enough:
Tom wake up more dumb. Bonk head on bed.
The diction alone is funny. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3760&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Let&#8217;s start with &#8220;Intelligent Design,&#8221; by Ellen Klages, in which God is an impish child shooting stars into the night sky. Pew! Pew! Pew!

The trouble begins when Alexa, newly a subject of the Braxian empire, has to take a machine quiz with questions like:

The narrator brings his car to the three eccentric Maine brothers, who are sort of like the Tappet Brothers to the nth degree.  The story itself is pretty non-consequential, but it&#8217;s well told. Even in something so short, it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3527&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s a radio show that&#8217;s been going for over 35 years, challenging the players to try to speak on a given subject for 60 seconds without hesitation, repetition, or deviation.

		<description><![CDATA[While so far, my favorite book by Terry Pratchett is easily Small Gods, it&#8217;s not so easy to call it a funny book. In this book, he finally sets aside the urge for constant jokiness, and is content to raise a few smiles or groans, while telling a damn good story. This is the story [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=101&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

After a rough start, I&#8217;ve enjoyed his books more and more, especially the Death stories, and now I can say Hogfather is a great book and an excellent TV movie.
