I'm part way through Dan Simmons' Hyperion; please no spoilers for the rest of the book, if possible (wording, etc). I've just read through the Priest's tale and the ending seemed inconsistent with the rest of the "tale" in several ways. Again, please no spoilers for the rest of the book, if at ...

In the fourth book of the H2G2 trilogy, Fenchurch and Arthur go check the message from god to its creation. PS: Some translations may not be accurate, as I did not read it in english.

When Harry first met Kreacher, he was muttering under his breath but that was a very audible muttering. oh, my poor mistress, if she knew, if she knew the scum they've let into her house, what would she say to old Kreacher, oh, the shame of it, Mudbloods and werewolves and traitors and thieves, ...

In the late 60s or early 70s I read a series of books (3 at least) about a young race car driver. (probably 18-20 in the first book) They were hardback books from a library, so could be 5-10 years older. (So could have been published in the 50s or 60s. Specifics I remember from the series: In the...

Sirius gets a wand during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but how is this possible since Sirius is an escaped convict from Azkaban? The same goes for all the escaped Death Eaters that broke out of Azkaban. Plus how did Voldemort get his wand...

Hagrid has weakness of a tongue slip. This one of the examples: Hagrid: Take Fluffy, for example. Just play him a little bit of music and he falls straight to sleep. I shouldn't have told you that. How many times Hagrid slip his tongue in whole Harry Potter series (films)?

There is a multitude of things that I did not understand about the plot of Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams. Instead of posting 5-10 different questions on this site, I thought it might be better to ask: is there some explanation (preferably available on the net) to the plot (and e...

Context The book in question was written... probably around the '60s. It was printed in the Soviet Union and translated to my native language (Latvian), so there's a good chance it was never translated into English. But maybe it was, and if so, I'd like to re-read it. I read it back in the early ...

The protagonist of this book is a teenage boy. If my memory serves, the cover might have featured a phoenix in a ring, but that's just what I seem to remember. The story is set in a world that is basically the same as ours--contemporary times, social media, big cities, etc. But the main differenc...

While If there's only one timeline, how could Doctor Strange have seen 14 million of them? was theoretical (people commented Doctor Strange may have seen only potential timelines), if there is only one true Sacred Timeline according to the Time Variance Authority (TVA), then why did the Ancient O...

At the end of The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams, upon learning that Odin sold his soul (at the end of Chapter 28), Dirk realizes something (possibly about the lawyer and his wife, the Draycotts). What did Dirk understand?

Out of interest I had a question closed. I responded with a required definition of what I mean. Now what? Out of interest, the reviwer seems to complain that the question is pointless because according to their point of view "incontrovertibly Yes. All the androids are sentient as presented on film."

Here's something I have been looking for over 13 years. Somewhere between 1995-2000 I read this graphic novel-type of book my father had. It was in a big format (letter?), printed in colors - it was not too thick. The plot was about a tourist from the distant future that travels through time and ...

I'm trying to track down a short story/novella that I read online, probably at least 3 years ago. I think it was published for free through an online magazine such as Clarkesworld or Strange Horizons, but I haven't had any luck scanning through their archives. The protagonist is an aficionado of ...

I lost the link of a webcomic I very recently read and loved, and it’s driving me crazy. It’s a mainly black and white strip, graphic novel style, and heavy with gore and horror elements. Synopsis: Teenagers are driving into a forest to find a cabin and take wrong turns. They meet some girls stan...
