"Every book is three books, after all; the one the writer intended, the one the reader expected, and the one that casts its shadow when the first two meet by moonlight."

Did you know John M. Ford’s 1987 novel *How Much For Just The Planet?* blends music and speculative fiction? This quirky work challenges genre norms, offering a unique take on interstellar diplomacy and cultural exchange. (Q5918025) #SpeculativeFiction #JohnMFord #MusicInLit
John M. Ford, October 13, 2003, 05:41 PM: The worm drives helically through the wood And does not know the dust left in the bore Once made the table integral and good; And suddenly the crystal hits the floor. Electrons find their paths in subtle ways, A massless eddy in a trail of smoke; The names of lovers, light of other days -- Perhaps you will not miss them. That's the joke. The universe winds down. That's how it's made. But memory is everything to lose; Although some of the colors have to fade, Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose. Regret, by definition, comes too late; Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.
It's still John M. Ford's birthday (April 10) in some parts of the world. He wrote one of my favourite poems, "Sonnet: Against Entropy" which was first published as a comment to a forum post. nielsenhayden.com/electrolite/...

Today we celebrate the birthday of American science fiction and fantasy writer, game designer, and poet John M. "Mike" Ford, born today in 1957. He is known for his "Ask Dr. Mike" panels at Minicon and other conventions. #JohnMFord #AskDrMike
"Sometimes the reader will decide something else than the author's intent; this is certainly true of attempts to empirically decipher reality."

Can’t recommend this book enough. Totally wild speculative fiction like #borges meets Game of Thrones. Nice quote from #GeneWolfe on the back too. Feels very much in his vein. #johnmford
