You know how flipped out and carnival the atmosphere turned in Providence during the eighties. I remember that reading, and feeling pretty shaky: a lot of glaring for one classroom in Wilson Hall. A friend of mine by chance picked up the story again this week — he’d found it in a bookstore in LA – and told me how much it brought the time back.<br><br>Cool that you know Pagan, who’s an excellent person.

I hope you’ve got your 3D glasses ready for the December 2009 IMAX spectacular _Avatar_ by James Cameron, featuring Sigourney Weaver, for instance. Never too soon to plan (yet this Friday is slightly up in the air at the moment — should have that figured out soon).Todd Seaveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589187886030112999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-43807086262148066382008-10-20T15:06:00.000-04:002008-10-20T15:06:00.000-04:00i always knew you were methodical, put picking out...i always knew you were methodical, put picking out your entire reading list for 2009 already? my mind boggles.jennyhttp://laloca.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-144901618133376652008-10-20T10:01:00.000-04:002008-10-20T10:01:00.000-04:00The books for next year have been chosen, so I won...The books for next year have been chosen, so I won’t be taking any new recommendations, but it’s always interesting to hear what people think is the best stuff.Todd Seaveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589187886030112999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-81570893386137934822008-10-20T08:51:00.000-04:002008-10-20T08:51:00.000-04:00only sci-fi and fantasy? have you read any of rich...only sci-fi and fantasy? have you read any of richard k. morgan’s stuff (a trilogy about an intelligence operative/mercenary named takeshi kovacs and two standalones)? good stuff, if you haven’t. i’m also partial to george r.r. martin’s westeros series, not least because he has a habit of killing off the most sympathetic characters. and his armageddon rag was pretty good, too.jennyhttp://laloca.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-66979555798380344442008-10-20T00:29:00.000-04:002008-10-20T00:29:00.000-04:00I loved it so much I stole it from the los angeles...I loved it so much I stole it from the los angeles public library by throwing it out a third story bathroom window then retrieving it at ground level.
