Great song and it's on a great album by Bowie. However, the movie Cat People that it's attached to is absolutely, completely terrible and not in a funny way. The song has nothing at all to do with the movie, and only features over the ending credits. Only watch it if you feel like MST3King it. The only part that worth remembering about it is that the actor who plays Kevin McAllister's Dad from Home Alone is in it. In this movie, Kevin McAllister's Dad is a cat fucker - in a roundabout way, he fucks cats.

To each their own. However, I've read all of Brandon Sanderson's books and I can definitively say that the writing style changes between Mistborn and other novels that are more recent are massive. Mistborn was good but it was his first published book. The more recent releases are a bit more easy to read. Tress even has a dragon in it. However if you're not interested at all, try reading the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It's great magic fantasy set on Earth. However a similar warning applies - the first few books are a bit of a slog. If you read these, maybe start on book 3 - the first two aren't as story centric.

I'd say it counts, but only start that series if you both love LOTR-style epic fantasy and you're willing to wait for the other 6 books to come out. There's only 4 released now and while I love them to death, they're very story thick and not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend starting Brandon Sanderson with that series for that reason. Try Yumi and the Nightmare Painter or Tress and the Emerald Sea - both came out this year and they are a bit lighter reading, they're very good, and both are a great introduction to the way Brandon writes. If you liked either of those then you'd probably love Stormlight.

Guess it sucks to suck? Jim Jordan's had his job for 16 years and never passed a bill - but hey, let's put him in charge of making sure bills can get passed! Talk about welfare queens, this asshole loser has been taking the government's money and purposefully not working the whole time! If only we could all be so lucky.

NAL either. I think that superseding indictments are created because they found additional crimes since the first indictment, or because the prosecution decided to add charges that they were withholding. Like say the defendant agrees to dime on their criminal conspirators in exchange for leniency or not being charged with certain things, and then changes their mind afterwards - a superseding indictment can be filed that then charges the defendant with the full slate of crimes.

It's not the source of this comic, but the same artist that made it now makes a cute and fun to read college AU with the same characters that updates daily. It's been going for a decade now, so you'll have a lot of catching up to do, but if webcomics are your jam then I highly recommend. www.dumbingofage.com

Hyperion is not like any other book I've read before. It puts together a lot of disparate events and individuals, and you sort of need to let the story happen as it's not entirely clear at first what is going on. I love it and recommend the sequel. The third and fourth books for me were more difficult reads but they were still good. They were more traditional in the way they told the story. I liked the first two better, but I recommend the whole series.
