I read John Scalzi's first novel Agent to the Stars online. He wrote the book as a "practice novel" at age 28 just in time for his 10 year high school reunion (and making me feel inadequate) and has had it online since 1999. Now he's publishing a small run with a spiffy cover by Gabe from Penny Arcade.

I've never read any books online before, but this one sucked me in. It's light-hearted and a quick read. And Scalzi's answering comments in a guest book thread, which is really cool of him.

If you need a fun way to spend a couple hours, take a look.
