"And they were a zephyr, blowing past you."
It's been a while since I've done an ayem blog entry, but here's one. Why the hell not. The world's back on Caitlín Standard Time, meaning I'm no longer early for everything, and I figure an anti-celebration is in order.
1. I'm at sixes and sevens over the fact that Sirenia Digest #75 has been ready to be PDFed and emailed since March 4th (!), yet ( Read more... )

Thurs...? Oh. OH! Yes! Thursday! I fucking forgot. Maybe I should have mentioned that, yeah? Okay, I'll make another post tonight.

If you want me to, I will tell you what I think of it, when I've thought it, when I've read it, maybe twice, and saved up some words and insights about your book instead of about me. But that's rare enough, I think the last book that made me this reflective was probably Dune.
I like Legion, and I also like Priest a whole lot. Though my brother is the kind of hipster douchebag who refused to like Priest on the first watching out of principle, but then forgot we'd watched it (with the help of much beer) and loved it on the rewatch when I reminded him it was me and the cats & he had no one to impress with how high his godamned brow is.
If you've not seen it, I suggest The Warrior's Way (2010). It could go either way, for you, because you are such a fussy Beast sometimes, but I think it'll land on the good side otherwise I'd not bring it up.

I hold Dune in such high regard, little else need be said. I know, you're probably not saying, "If you want me to, I'll tell you only how wonderful is your novel" But, these days, I'm really not interested in anything but the praise. I've had enough of the other.

That's funny.

I'll think about it.

To which you are wholly entitled and thoroughly deserving, and I'm warmed to see you accepting it so readily.
I think the only less-than-entirely-favourable thing I've ever had cause to say about your work, to you or anyone else, was "That's not what fanny means in Manchester". But we can leave it at I just compared TDG to Dune. There's probably not much better can be said about a book, just exposition and analysis.

Agreed.

I'm looking forward to the announcements.

I've not read The Road! I should give it a go.
It's one of the few books I say should be read in a single sitting (and one of the few I ever have).

I've not even had time to look at the interview yet. And yeah, I'm still wondering about Crane Beach.

had this crazy dream last night that you were using a grand and large steampunk machine to draw in the dreams of your readers for some nefariously fantastic purpose.
Wow.
