School Me On Ringo

Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

The Last Centurion was really good.

I just bought The Last Centurian. Book report to follow.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

No, it's not part of any series. Not sure what caused him to write it, but I really enjoyed it.

Watch on the Rhine was a good read despite intensely disliking some of the characters.
I didn't include them as they weren't straight Ringo, but Ringo/Kratman collaborations (talk about a combination guaranteed to cause SJW heads to explode! :twisted: ).

Still good and enjoyable IMHO, but not what the OP was asking. And I think they are better to read after the basic 4 I listed.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

I keep wanting to do a bunch of short stories based on the idea that the earth the Posleen try to invade are settings from other sources of fiction - the MCU, Fifth Imperium, and Girl Genius settings would be hilarious. The Make a wish verse would be just cruel. :twisted:

Wasn't it published around the first time the specter of a Hillary Milhous Rodham regime slouched toward Bethlehem, along with the apparent possibility that bird flu would turn into something Really Bad?

Yeah, and about the time people started realizing that global warming wasn't happening, too.
