One of the great things about Twitter is its ability to easily converse with those who you might not otherwise get to speak with. I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve sent tweets to “famous people” – or, at least, more famous than I – with little to no response. That’s not wholly unexpected, honestly, if you’re someone who has thousands of followers. Hell, I don’t reply to even my real life friends sometimes.

Just in the passed day, however, Twitter allowed me to connect with someone we’ve actually talked about on the show: Scott Westefeld. Through a series of but four tweets, we had an incredible thought provoking dialogue:

ScottWesterfeld:

Just read three reviews of Leviathan in a row, none of which mentions the illustrations. (Silly adults.)

garretble:

@ScottWesterfeld I did a review a bit ago and I definitely mentioned the great visuals! http://www.pressednbound.net/episode-82-hatisode/

ScottWesterfeld:

@garretble Dude, you totally GOT IT. Yes, I am a lucky man to have Keith alongside. Anyone who doesn’t get the pix fails at the book.

garretble:

@ScottWesterfeld Indeed, my friend. High five!

So there you have it. Scott is a cool guy, a good author, and you would be remiss to ignore how interesting Leviathan is.

Leviathan was further discussed on Episode 82.
