One (more) nice thing about Autumn leaves
Even on the cloudiest days, they seem to gather all the light and throw it back out. They really do glow.
I promised an update, and here it is.
First at Sleeping Hedgehog, a reprint of a review of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein -- the one that started the whole franchise. And another reprint of another classic, of sorts -- from science fiction's Golden Age, Clifford D. Simak's City. And something a little out of the ordinary for SH, but in an area that I'm trying to get our reviewers to explore, a look at Chicago's Lincoln Park Conservatory. Another reprint, of Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della beata vergine. And a music-related review, Arnold Steinhardt's autiobiography, Violin Dreams. And SH's first "travel review," of Lincoln Park's North Pond Nature Sanctuary. Another new one, this one of Bill Willingham's Fairest: Wide Awake, followed immediately by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi's Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest.
At Green Man Review, there's not so much, because everything there is new. (The reason for that is that everything that's no longer on-point for GMR is getting moved over to SH, hence those famous "Archives.") Let's see -- Joe Golem and the Drowned City, by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden; a new one from Elizabeth Bear, Book of Iron; another in Mike Resnick's Weird West series, The Doctor and the Rough Rider; and a new one from Steven Brust, in collaboration with Skyler White, The Incrementalists. And that's it for September and October at GMR.
And Epinions -- can't forget Epinions. September was a bust -- just one review, of Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Lots of eyecandy. Only one other movie, Brotherhood of the Wolf. Strange film. One music review, R.E.M.'s Out of Time, which is the sort of thing that happens when I go scrolling through my music library. And books, mostly comics -- the second collection of whatever version of the Teen Titans this is, The Culling; and the second collection of Brian K. Vaughan's Ex Machina: Tag; Mark Waid's Daredevil: Man Without Fear; and a walk on the wild side (giggle), the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Wildflowers of North America (Eastern).
And that's it -- no outside projects these days, but I'm getting back into the swing of things.
And this morning's play list has included John Corigliano's Red Violin Concerto and Violin Sonata, Burning Sky's Creation; Michael Nyman's Noises, Sounds and Sweet Airs, and Hedningarna's Fire.
