Since you so kindly invited me to do so, here's my own meager haul. Some purchases mixed in with the review copies. Just started Chaos. Promising so far, but far too early to tell what I'll make of it. What's the Lennon book about? I'm also wanting to read the Kowal collection. As for work weeks, Monday was okay, but this afternoon was a mix of blah and awesomeness. Blah for the class, awesome for the phone call that interrupted it. Might be getting my old job back; will find out tomorrow at 9. I believe it's just a formality, salary negotiations and nothing else, based on what I heard. Needless to say, this should feed my book habit!

The R.A.MacAvoy, because I wrote her a fannish letter like 20 years ago (to do with Tea With the Black Dragon I think) and she actually wrote back. What an awesome youthful experience.

The Imago Sequence is an exceptional book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I’d love to read the MacAvoy and the Straub as well. Are they Subterranean books? If so, I do believe I need to get over to that website and do me some shopping when my next paycheck arrives.

That video is rather trippy. There’s a giant squid at the 2 minute-area … so they get bonus points for that. …. and did I sea a bird riding a bird???

Lots of good books amongst the photos. Anything by Charles DeLint or Charles Vess or any combination of Charles’s is definitely worth checking out. Got to have the new Scalzi book as well. :)

… punch out Darth Vader? …. you gotta have balls to try that!

Phillipine Speculative Fiction IV and the Mary Robinette Kowall are the two I wish I recieved in the mail…

Hm. I’ll just have to buy them, and vote with my wallet for more stuff like that.

I’m currently enjoying my own copy of Chaos by Escober.

The Pains jumps out at me, and, of course, Teatro Grottesco by Ligotti. Mmmm! Ligotti. Unfortunately, if my to-read pile gets any larger I’m going to have to come up with a second coffee table. As for your not getting to Borne till next week, well, just remember: Ketchup has lycopene innit, and that’s goodferya.

Put me down for the Robert Wexler as most anticipated! I’ve really enjoyed his previous books, In Springdale Town (PS) and Circus of the Grand Design (Prime).

Oh, WOOF. Wow. I’d say “Hang in there” but I’m sure you’re up for the battle. Still… Jesus! Carry on.

Yes, yes, yes, Jeff. All good and whatnot, but do I REALLY see a new R. A. MacAvoy book over there? ‘In Between’? Tell me more! Something to do with her novella “Go-Between”?
