Bill the Galactic Hero On The Planet of Bottled Brains (Bill the Galactic Hero #3) by Harry Harrison 147. Elevation by Stephen King 148. The Surgeon’s Mate (Aubrey & Maturin #7) by Patrick O’Brian London Private is my least favorite of the private parts.  Bill the Galactic Hero keeps punning horribly like an issue of Cracked before they became actual internet journalists.  Stephen King keeps on busting out Castle Rock novellas, and […]
