Murder by Death

Only two more squares left before I black out!  Woot!

I initially figured I wouldn't be able to finish completely because I really don't like sci-fi; I am completely disinterested in both space and robots (except the kind that vacuum) and really, there's not much left after those two are eliminated.  But Tannat just posted a reading update of her Gaiman audiobook, and Gaiman says Terry Pratchett is a science fiction writer!  To quote Gaiman via Tannat: 

"Terry was a science fiction writer. It was the way his mind worked: the urge to take it all apart and put it back together in different ways, to see how it all fit together. It was the engine that drove Discworld, not a “what if” or an “if only” or even an “if this goes on…” It was the far more subtle and dangerous “if there was really a —, what would that mean? How would it work?”

So, what do y'all think?  Yea?  Nay?  If it's nay, that's ok.  I don't have to finish the card to have had a great time doing this. (Forcing myself to read a science fiction book isn't going to be fun; it's going to be work and there's going to be a lot of swearing and gnashing of teeth.  At least one book will be harmed in the process.)
