Wow, I read exactly 1 of those books. But it was the right wooly one! Though, not much in the way of fantasy and sci-fi on there. (I wouldn't be caught dead reading Robert Jordan again)
That Hugh Howey guy is at it again

I had no idea Wool was optioned by Ridley Scott. Holy crap. That is jaw dropping awesome.

Bah - don't keep it to yourself!!! It gives us all encouragement to see you do so well!!Hugh Howey said:
And we can all say, "Yeah, we know him!"
So... I know who Hugh Howey is, but the only place I see him talked about is here, so I feel like I'm late coming in on the scene. Am I just ignoring everything outside of Kindleboards, or is he really this well appreciated and looked up to?
And I'm super happy for his success. He and the others who are blazing the trails ahead of us.

Hugh is our very own rags-to-riches story. Nice guy, good writer, great storyteller whose book went apes**t - went on to write his own trad-pub ticket, got optioned, became a ka-trillionaire, media darling and poster child for Indie-Makes-Good.Andrea Pearson said:So...

Understand - this guy worked his butt off to make this happen.
And he still finds time to hang out with us here like he's just a mortal person.
But there are some here, having invoked his name by the light of the moon, who know better...
I think it encourages some and pisses off some others.Madeline said:Bah - don't keep it to yourself!!! It gives us all encouragement to see you do so well!!

Here's some craziness I can share, since it won't create a new thread and hopefully not many people will notice (we haven't screamed these from the mountaintops yet. They are on a few product pages, but this is like a secret announcement right here).
The blurb lineup for the print release as of right now:
"With WOOL Hugh Howey has created a new science fiction classic! The riveting storyline and detailed prose sucks you in immediately and makes you feel like you're right there in the silo with his characters. But unlike them, you'll be in no hurry to leave." - Ernie Cline, bestselling author of READY PLAYER ONE
"Howey's WOOL is an epic feat of imagination. You will live in this world." - Justin Cronin, bestselling author of THE PASSAGE
"Exhilarating, intense, addictive." - S.J. Watson, bestselling author of BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
"WOOL is frightening, fascinating, and addictive. In one word, terrific." - Kathy Reichs bestselling author of the Temperance Brennan and Tory Brennan series
"Secrets unfold with just the right pacing… If you're looking for a good post-apocalyptic read, you can't do much better than WOOL." - Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
"In WOOL, Hugh Howey delivers the key elements of great science fiction: an authentic and detailed future-world; realistic, relatable characters to live in it; and a taut, thoughtful story. Howey's supple, muscular writing is the icing on the cake." - Jonathan Hayes, author of PRECIOUS BLOOD
"The best science fiction stories are like tiny seeds that take root and blossom in the reader's imagination. Hugh Howey presents an entire garden of post-apocalyptic wonder, with weeds and predators, tended by the secret caretakers of a destroyed world. Page-turning sci-fi at its finest." - Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET
