I'm currently reading (for the tenth time!) the Death Is A Lonely Business trilogy. I'm on the final book, Let's All Kill Constance.

Perhaps my least favourite Bradbury novel. But still written better than most authors can manage!

Just personal preference in story, I suppose. Mind, it's written as well as any, but the subject matter is just "not my cup of tea", as 4E Ackerman once told me when I asked him if he enjoyed the modern horror films.
Do you know, I came this close to having Alexandra sign my copy (it's dedicated to her, you know). She was in town for a few days and I was talking to her about her possibly coming to an event, but she was unable to attend. And would you believe, when I had been over to the house before (when she and Jon Eller and Donn Albright were there), I neglected to bring the book! Oh well. Next time, eh?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Doug Spaulding,

Of Time And The River by Thomas Wolfe
I found it in a dusty antique store in North Carolina today, and I thought aloud:
"What a find! Come with me you precious little jewel!"

Both are superb
Reflection is useless, the world is senseless. Evil is its only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in...this was civilization as I saw it, colossal and jagged.
