It's so good. You don't want to get it.

He wrote a book called the lost art of steam heat I mean basically he's just really into heating

So after we published our book The 99 Percent Invisible City Kurt Colston and I went on Reddit to answer some questions from fans and one of them asked us if we'd be interested in covering left handedness.

Her new book, it's a novel called The Book of Lamps and Banners.

He did some pretty big movies actually, like Johnny Mnemonic, the Keanu Reeves movie.

He did Galaxy Quest.

Terry was telling me actually when he was writing the Galaxy Quest book, they kept changing the ending.

They kept rewriting the damn script and they probably had these groups that told them what ending they liked and stuff like that. I had to rewrite the last 10, 15 pages of it three or four times.

He did a Bruce Willis sci-fi movie that you may remember called The Fifth Element.

And it sold really well. I think the reason it sold was because people thought, well, maybe the book will explain what's going on in the movie because there was a lot of stuff in the movie that didn't make sense.

And she pretty much confirmed everything that Terry said, like she did 12 Monkeys, she did the X-Files movie and she said, yeah, all you ever get is the script.

I won't say that the novelization of Catwoman is my finest moment, but it was a paycheck.

So what I ended up doing, there was a character in the book, in the screenplay rather. It was a supporting character who was like a renowned catologist, a supposed anthropologist archaeologist who specialized in cats.

And so what I thought was like, okay, I know what I can do, even though this is totally out of line. I'm just going to do it anyway. So I wrote three or four little cat, I made up three or four little cat fables or fairy tales.

And actually one of these folktales that Liz wrote turned out so well that she managed to get it published in a couple of short story anthologies, including this one anthology of stories about cats where it's a story by Stephen King, a story by George R.R. Martin, and then also her short story that was originally in the Catwoman novelization.

And the writer added this whole backstory about why the shark in Jaws keeps chasing the same family.

And the explanation is a voodoo curse.

I think in Jaws the Revenge, the shark follows Ellen Brody like down to the Bahamas or something.

So ancient curse is the easiest way to connect those dots.

So in the novel, it's M&Ms because they hadn't struck a deal with Reese's Pieces yet.

In the novel, Yoda is blue.

If you had to describe Yoda, first thing you say is he's a green dude. Like he's hall of fame green thing.

So I found this old article about Alan Dean Foster who wrote the novelization and he says he went to the studio and was like, hey, can I see the alien? And they said no.

There was a vague suggestion of something tall and heavy. This is a bit later on. Above the helpless figure was a faint outline, something man-shaped, but definitely not a man.

And that novelization of Alien is seen as a classic of the genre. It was an actual bestseller.

I don't know Transformers Dark Side of the Moon or something and you think why would anyone read that thing?

And my book is The Great Indoors, the surprising science of how buildings shape our behavior, health, and happiness.

It is so good. It's a 99 PI book through and through you're going to love it.
