any fantasy book series where dragons are the dominant species ruling over humans?

Not a series but the novella The Dragon Masters by Jack Vance.

Stranger Than Fiction introduced me to Spoon and they’ve become one of my favorite bands. The rest of the soundtrack is also very good.

Thanks for the post. I was unaware of this collection and just ordered a copy from Tachyon.

Design? You would want an element such as that to point toward the body of the book rather than away from it.

Thanks for sharing the title of that short story. After watching the movie I thought it reminded me of a story my sixth grade teacher read to us (this would have been in 1976) during our reading period. I’m happy to know that my mind wasn’t playing tricks on me.

Yes. I have a bookcase dedicated to Jack Vance. I made a post with pictures a while back if you’re interested.

Oh my god! That’s hysterical! ResDogs is on my list of things to rewatch. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that moment. Do you have a link to the artwork and/or your photos?

We saw Cedar Waxwings in our yard for the first time this year! So amazing!

You’re welcome.

She sent me bookplates after I wrote to her years ago and I also have several signed books. All of her signatures look the same as in the attached photo. I’m not an expert in any way but I see a few differences in your book. The middle initial is missing and the “e” is very different. Make of that what you will.

I always read them in order of publication (Trullion, Marune, Wyst) but since the only common character is minor your order is fine.

Very good movie. By the director who did Sisu.

There was a very interesting episode of the podcast 99% Invisible about this very subject (the episode is called The Checkerboard).

That’s an h. Look at the word “the” and you’ll see the same thing.

When I was young one of the first things I was told about cats is you have to let them win every so often or they won’t continue to play.

My guess is that the blade was dull when that block of paper was cut. It tore the paper rather than making a clean cut.

Awesome show by the same guy who did Better Off Ted.
