Smart Pop Books
So a couple years ago, it was recommended I read a book called Finding Serenity, which contained a group of essays focusing on Firefly. I did as I was told, though I was bad about it and did it sitting in a Barns & Noble without buying it. I did eventually go back and buy a copy because of one essay which offended me so much that I felt I really should write a reply to it tearing it apart (that's still on my todo list).
The last few days I started poking through the book again for the unofficial glossary of Chinese in the series, as I've been working on background story for the Serenity character I put together, awaiting a game to be started which I can participate in. The dialog is coming a little difficult in the story at the moment, so I started getting side tracked, and eventually ended up at the website listed on the back of the book, www.benbellabooks.com. Poking around, I was reminded that Finding Serenity was part of their Smart Pop Books series and ended up at their website for that.
Scanning over the other titles down the side of the page, there are three of these books I'm going to have to get my hands on. The first is The Anthology at the End of the Universe, as I love Hitchhiker's Guide, and some of the essay topics sound fun. Next, I most certainly have to get Farscape Forever! as I am somewhat of a rabid 'Scaper. ^_^ Finally, a book I recently noticed while geeking out on Veronica Mars, and was reminded about when I hit the Smart Pop website, as it is one of their recent ones, Neptune Noir.
There are probably other books in their catalog I'd enjoy reading, but those are the three that stand out and yell "Read Me!"
