This isn't hyperbole or fanboy gushing, either; I'm a harsh critic of the stuff I read, and what I look for in anything I read is story. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the your <em>stories</em> I've read, up through <em>The Automatic Detective</em>, and I look forward to more good stories with a wacky sense of humor attached to them. I expect not to be disappointed! I’ll follow up with alanna7′s comment and say that your books, which I find to be very funny, would be forgettable without the good stories that back them up.

I roll my eyes every time I see a Mercy commercial on NBC. Oh, and you might just want to enjoy the fact that if you make people laugh, they will probably consider you "funny." It may not describe all the subtle nuances, but most people I know enjoy "funny." I wouldn't worry about fighting that one and just let it be a good starter. “How many strong nurse shows do we need?” – FTW. I roll my eyes every time I see a Mercy commercial on NBC.

I really like the way you right and I really like your stories, but I have not really read any books that are like yours. I was wondering do you have any books that you recomend? Also I agree about the racism thing exspecially in this day and age, but a majority of people are racist or prejudice to some exent and thats probably not going to change. It does not always mean skin color or your money class, but eveyone is prejudice to someone or some type of person. Me personally I dont care if you are pink with yellow polka dots and like to wear a tutu on your head, but even though I am a dog person and I have my own pack of them I dont like th dog park regulars. They are just too weird and "cat lady" freakish with their "kids" I have read another one of your books (totally loved it) and yeah its funny, but thats not exactly how I would describe it when I recomend (which I have done so multile times) it to someone.

Yes: “Make friends with science today.” Adopt-a-scientist.

And “…a white senator asked Sotomayor if she understood his discomfort with the notion that maybe her Latina background might prejudice her against white people.” Like his own white background prejudices him against non-whites.
