Hmmm. I'm sorry to hear that. I've read all his work, except for Ysabel. Last Light of the Sun is my favorite right next to Tigana. All though it doesn't quite have the heroicyepicyness of some of other stuff. Is that the problem you have with it?

anything by Leigh Brackett Samuel R. Delaney: esp. "Nova" and his "Neveryon" titles.

Hmmm, will I be buying this? Is the Space Pope Reptilian?

After finishing Michael Chabon's "Jews With Swords" (I refuse to call it by any other title), I picked up "The Yiddish Policeman's Union". I'm only 120 or so pages through it, and that first 100 kinda of just sat there, but I can feel the tip of the hook on the flat of my tongue, just waiting to...

Great news! Dabel Bros. seem to get stronger and stronger as the years go by. I wonder, was this deal at all related to your split with Marvel? I thought the split with them would hurt you guys, but you landed like a cat I tell you! A cat!

woops. nevermind.

I know, I know. I've been avoiding that crazy jew for far too long! The weird part is; he's right up my alley. He's friends with Jonathan Lethem, and Jonathan Lethem might be my favorite writer (MIGHT be). I read "Werewolves In Their Youth" a few months ago, and told myself that next book i get...

Really? How is it? A part of me has been wanting to pick those books up for a few years now. After hearing that it has an "atheist agenda" (or so some people think), I'm even more interested in it. I just picked up Michael Chabon's "Gentlemen Of The Road: A Tale Of Adventure", but I have yet...

"The Etched City" by K. J. Bishop has been compared to S.K.'s Dark Tower by more than one critic. It's nothing like Lovecraft, however. And the "darkness" part of it is more about the morality of one of the main characters. I liked it a lot. Have you tried anything by Jeff Vandermeer?. Check...

How now brown drow.

Finished Nova Swing , the companion novel to Light by M. John Harrison. I enjoyed Nova Swing a bit more than the latter, but it definitley shed some...er...light on Light. Also, from PKD's Four Novels of the 60's I finished The Man In The High Castle. Loved it. I'm going to skip Three Stigmata...

Jeff Vandermeer might be my favorite author in the "new weird" sub-genre. Make sure you check out his Shriek: An Afterword when you finish City. A lot of the names you see in that book crop up as full fledged characters. It's a great book.

I just purchased two books. The first one is Nova Swing by the much maligned (on this site, anyway) M. John Harrison. It's a continuation of Light, a novel that won last years Triptree Award, and a novel that I still have a hard time forming an opinion of, even though I read it over a year ago...

Have an unspecified number of 1e Kender come over to Faerun on a spelljamming ship. Also, Instead of Chosen humans, we can Have Chosen Giant Space Hamsters. Yes. This will do. :o

Is that the one published by Night Shade? How is it? I've been looking for his Zothique stories, but if I remember correctly, "Lost Worlds" doesn't contain any. While I don't want to limit what I read by him, that $30 dollar price tag is pretty steep (I'm assuming you have the hardcover).

They only take the covers off ("strip") of Mass Market books (the small paperbacks that you always find at supermarket counters) and periodicals/magazines. Hardcovers and quality paperbacks (the more expensive soft covers) get sent back whole cloth. Where do you think a good chunk of those...

I'm not sure why you would think that major booksellers would stop carrying DnD books. I was working at a Borders during the change over from second to third edition, and it went off without a hitch. The only people who even noticed there was a change were the small number of role-players who...

For serious. I don't mean to be a book snob, but it's waaaaaaaay better than anything Simon Green can write. I don't know about the star wars novels, because I've only read one of them. I hear Kevin J. Anderson has a series out that's very space opera, in a light sort of way. Track down some of...

I'm on the last 40 pages of Jeff Vandermeer's "Shriek: An Afterword". I think it's great. Imagine if Charles Dickens and H.P. Lovecraft had a kid that wanted to follow in it's parents footsteps. Instead of writing about London, he writes about the fictional city Ambergris. Instead of...

Slowly finishing up "No one belongs here more than you." by Miranda July. It's not at all bad, I'm just savoring it. Just started "Werewolves In Their Youth" by Michael Chabon. I was reading "Child Of Fortune" by Norman Spinrad, but it was boring the heck out of me, so I did something I hardly...
