Okay, fine: He started writing \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e and amused about 15 people that first day. If that many. But he kept at it, for ten years and running. Now 40,000 people drop by on a daily basis to see what he's got to say. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout what? Well, about whatever: Politics, writing, family, war, popular culture and cats (especially with bacon on them). Sometimes he's funny. Sometimes he's serious (mostly he's sarcastic). Sometimes people agree with him. Sometimes they send him hate mail, which he grades on originality and sends back. Along the way, Scalzi's become a best-selling, award-winning author, a father, and a geek celebrity. But no matter what, there's always another \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e post to amuse and\/or enrage his readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Hate Mail Will Be Graded\u003c\/i\u003e collects some of the best and most popular Whatever entries from the first ten years of the blog - a decade of \u003ci\u003eWhatever\u003c\/i\u003e, presented in delightfully random form, just as it should be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e* Winner of the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e* Introduction by \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e actor Wil Wheaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOld Man's War Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #1 \u003ci\u003eOld Man's War\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #2 \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Brigades\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #3 \u003ci\u003eThe Last Colony\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #4 \u003ci\u003eZoe's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #5 \u003ci\u003eThe Human Division\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #6 \u003ci\u003eThe End of All Things \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Short fiction: \"After the Coup\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eOther Tor Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Android's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAgent to the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eYour Hate Mail Will Be Graded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFuzzy Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRedshirts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLock In\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Collapsing Empire\u003c\/i\u003e (forthcoming)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Scalzi\u003c\/b\u003e won the 2006 John W.
